Melton community gets into the Comic Relief spirit
Residents, relatives and staff at The Amwell Care Home, on Asfordby Road, generated nearly £300 by completing a gruelling 12-hour day of exercise in their gym.
Manager Jack Titterton said: “It was a great effort by everyone on the treadmill, bike, weight machines and lots of skipping.”
