Rudding Park works with charity to spread love to older people
After another lockdown month, Supporting Older People and Rudding Park are working together to give people in need a lovely little lift.
Rudding Park has worked with a local charity to send 250 treat packages to older people this Valentine's Day.
The hotel and spa teamed up with Supporting Older People to give people a lift after another month in lockdown.
Chefs at Rudding Park made hundreds of homemade treats for the packages. They include passion fruit chocolate truffles, heart shaped biscuits and more.
Julia Lightfoot, Supporting Older People's befriending and activities manager, said:
"These delicious little treats that Rudding Park have so kindly arranged will certainly bring a smile to their faces and help them feel loved this Valentine’s Day!"

The charity added that the deliveries have been meticulously planned to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
Julia Featherstone, Rudding Park's front office manager, spearheaded the project and said:
"Being furloughed for much of the last 11 months has not diminished the team’s desire to do what they can to make people smile.
"With this in mind, we are delighted to have teamed up with Supporting Older People to support the amazing work they do in our wonderful community.
"As it is Valentine’s Day on Sunday, we wanted to let their members know that we are thinking of them."
