A care home in Salisbury held its very own food donation point to celebrate this year's harvest festival.

Residents and team members at Care UK’s Salisbury Manor welcomed the community to donate their extra, unused or unwanted non-perishable food items to the home’s very own food bank drop-off point amid this year's harvest festival.

The food bank drop-off point was live at Salisbury Manor for a number of weeks, where it gathered dozens of items to be donated to Salisbury Pantry. The home also raised £144 selling cakes at the Salisbury Foodie Market, which was handed over with the food donations.

Salisbury Manor adorned the home with autumnal decorations and held a church service with Emmanuel Church. Following the service, residents and guests indulged in harvest-inspired treats including pumpkin-shaped biscuits and pumpkin lattes.
