Residents and guests at a retirement development in Wantage raised more than £1,000 for charity Help for Heroes at the weekend.
The event, at the David Wilson Retirement Homes development Willow Grange, included a cake sale, raffle and stalls.
David Wilson Retirement Homes kickstarted the fund with a donation of £100 and another £1,121 was raised on the day.
Jo Rothstein, of Willow Grange, said: “The community lifestyle on offer here really is unrivalled. The residents here have a wonderful time socialising and this charity event was the perfect example of how proactive many residents are here at Willow Grange.”
The retirement homes, aimed at over-55s, include video door entry, a 24-hour emergency call system, residents’ lounge and guest suite for visitors.
