A Grantham care home has teamed up with a Newark cupcake business to provide support during the pandemic.

Red Court Care Community on St Edmunds Close in has been working with Ringrose Cupcakes to help kick-start the economy.

Over the last few months, it has been very difficult for businesses to get back on their feet and this is why Red Homes Healthcare Group has decided to give back to the local community.

Throughout the pandemic, businesses from across Grantham have generously donated a number of edible goodies, toiletry hampers, bouquets of flowers and gardening supplies to the care home and this has not gone unnoticed.

Lin Amos, general manager at Red Court Care Community said: "We have been overwhelmed with the support we've received from the local community over the last year. It has been tough, but we've come together as a family and got through one of the hardest periods in our lifetime."

"We were really excited to receive the cupcakes from Natalie because it's very rare we have branded cakes delivered from Newark to our door. We are very fortunate to be working with such a talented baker."

"Nothing was too much trouble for Natalie and each of our residents received their very own Red Court branded cupcakes. This is just one of the many ways we make all who reside with us feel included and part of the Red Homes family."

"I'm delighted we have been able to work with Ringrose Cupcakes on such a lovely campaign and I'm very much looking forward to working with the business again in the future."

Natalie Connett, owner of Ringrose Cupcakes said: "Back in January I was contacted by Red Homes Healthcare and asked to provide cupcakes as a special treat to each of their care homes. I agreed immediately and started planning what the cupcakes would look like as they wanted a red theme."

"For the past few months, I've had the pleasure of delivering the cupcakes and meeting the care home staff. It has been lovely to be so warmly welcomed - after all everyone loves a bit of cake!"

"It's been a difficult year or so with care homes being at the sharp end of the pandemic and it has been lovely to help put a smile back on a few faces."

Red Court Care Community is located on 12 St Edmunds Close in Grantham and provides care for up to 49 residents.
