RED Nose Day has taken over a Hampshire care home today.

At Belmore Lodge in Lymington, colleagues donned wigs, red noses and face decorations all day long to raise money for good causes.

Jo London, activities manager at Colten Care, which runs the home, said: “We don’t need much excuse to dress up but more importantly we are just delighted to get involved and support such a fantastic cause. It’s all about giving vulnerable and disadvantaged people the chance of a better future.”

Colten Care runs 19 care homes across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire. Its services include residential, nursing, respite and dementia care.
