All of the money raised will go towards The Rainbow Centre which supports children with cerebral palsy and other motor-skill problems as well as adults with MS, Parkinson’s or have suffered a stroke or head injury.

The Churchill Foundation, Churchill’s new charity, will also match funds raised at selected lodges across the region.

Spencer McCarthy, chairman and chief executive at Churchill Retirement Living, said: ‘We’re delighted to be holding our warming morning event to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause to help it continue its vital work in the community.

‘Every penny counts and so we’re asking as many people as possible to come along and support our event by digging deep, while having a really great time too.
