Residents, staff and volunteers from three North East care homes joined forces to raise money at this year's Macmillan Coffee Morning.
Mandale House in Thornaby, Ingleby Care Home in Ingleby Barwick and Hazelgrove Court in Saltburn raised £155 for the nationwide campaign supporting nearly 3.5 million people living with cancer in the UK.
The Hill Care Group homes held the coffee morning at Ingleby Care Home on Lamb Lane, with a tombola, raffle and games to guess the teddy bear's name and the cake's weight.
