The residents made the farm their chosen charity for 2023 and have carried this forward into 2024 as they enjoy going to the farm so much.
The cheque was handed over by Aga Musial, General Manager at Milford House with team members and residents in attendance.
She said: “Residents love visiting the farm regularly and, with the warmer weather nearly here, will be visiting as much as they can as it is definitely a 'happy place' for many of them.
"We may not be able to volunteer on the farm but raising money for them is the next best thing and so far we have raised just short of £2,000 for them, and we aim to break this barrier and more as we continue with our various fundraising during the rest of the year.
"Our residents are always made to feel so welcome when they visit and we are so lucky to have the farm right on our doorstep."
