02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

'Friends of Seaforth' provides funds for and organises recreational activities for the residents and respite clients of Seaforth House which is a privately run Nursing Home. Seaforth House provides care for Adults of all ages including those with special needs such as Learning Disability, Autism, Physical Disability, Visual and Hearing Impairment. These recreational activities include in-house entertainment throughout the year and small gifts for the residents at Christmas and on birthdays. In addition the charity organises events such as Bingo nights, Fetes and Barbecues which both entertain the residents and raise funds. Friends of Seaforth funded a large area of decking which is regularly used by residents of all abilities in the warmer months and we continue to provide funds to help maintain this asset in good condition. We fund the purchase of craft items which the staff assist residents to use. The charity also provides funds for funeral flowers for deceased residents.
