One of the region’s biggest providers of personal care-in-the-home has given their backing to Peasedown’ party in the park summer festival.

Care South, which has offices at the village’s Business Park, have signed up as the event’s latest sponsor.

Last Wednesday, three of the festival’s organisers, Joy Fraser, Nathan Hartley and Karen Walker, went along to thank staff for their support.

Party in the Park Chairman, Nathan Hartley, said: “We are extremely grateful to Care South for their generosity. It’s thanks to businesses like theirs that allow us to put on such a successful event every year.

“In total, we need over £6,000 to host the event, so every contribution helps. The support from Care South means we are just that little bit closer to reaching out target.”

Care South offers a full range of care and support services for people aged eighteen and over; from young adults who need some temporary help with everyday life, to older people looking for a new home with full-time care in one of their care homes.

Jon Bowring is the Care Manager for Care South in Bath and North East Somerset. He added: “With many of our customers and staff living locally, we wanted to show our support for the community by sponsoring Peasedown Party in the Park. The organisers do a great job every year to put on an event that everyone enjoys and remembers fondly.

“We are looking forward to being a part of this year’s event and coming along on the day.”

Last year almost 2,500 people attended Party in the Park – making it one of the most popular and well attended community events in Bath and North East Somerset.

Party in the Park 2018, the village’s tenth annual festival, officially starts at 12 noon on Saturday, 9th June on Beacon Field.
