Café gets into the Christmas spirit to help raise funds

A Scarborough café has been decorated for Christmas in spectacular style to raise money for Saint Catherine’s.

Oliver’s on the Mount has been transformed into a winter wonderland in a bid to raise money for patient care at the hospice.

Even though the café has had to close during lockdown, business owner Tamra Marshall was determined to go all out and make sure the premises looked as festive as possible.

Tamra said: “We’d love everybody to come past and have a look when they’re doing their daily exercise or just having a drive out. We ask for all your donations for photographs to go in the buckets towards Saint Catherine’s. We know this year has been tough for the hospice, so we’re doing everything we can to help out.”

Tamra also thanked Infiniti Scaffolding and Jo Purdy at Heart and Flowers for their help in creating the display.

Tracy Calcraft, Income and Business Services Director at Saint Catherine’s, said: “A huge thank you to all the team at Oliver’s for supporting Saint Catherine’s. The display is fabulous and we just can’t thank everyone enough.”

During lockdown, the café is operating a takeaway kiosk from 10am to 3pm every day (hours may vary depending on the weather). Anyone who can’t make it to the café but still wishes to donate can do so at www.justgiving.com/fundraising/olivers-on-the-mount
