A CARE home in York is set to host a talent show involving residents and carers - all of which will be streamed live.

Birchlands Care Home, located in Haxby, will be hosting the talent show on Friday (May 1) from 10am.

Both staff and residents will safely be performing singing, dancing, poetry, jokes along with other talents, while following social distancing guidelines.

Carla Omerta, who is Birchlands activities coordinator and vocalist for local band 'Branded By Fire', set up a JustGiving page to raise money for the residents activities fund.

Carla said: "We usually hold public events to raise money but unfortunately due to COVID-19 this has prevented fundraising, so we have decided to go onto the JustGiving platform, so our residents don’t miss out when we open up again.

"We would like to thank everyone who’s donated to our fundraiser and we are overwhelmed by the support."

The money raised will support the residents by giving them the chance to go on trips and carry out various activities in the home.

They have raised £1,150 so far. Carla said: "This means so much to all of us."

The 'Birchlands Got Talent' show will be broadcast live on the care home's Facebook page from 10am on Friday.

The JustGiving page is still open for donations and can be accessed here.
