A relaxing time in the sun

Resthaven Summer Market Day

Friends come in handy particularly when they order a sunny day and deliver plenty of activities.

That is what the Friends of Resthaven Foundation Trust achieved on Saturday for the Market Day fundraiser at Payne Park outside the community-owned retirement village and alongside the Water Tower.

Proceeds from the day – which featured music, food, raffles and stalls – go towards equipment for the village’s care centres.
