ONE of the many festive decorated homes in Teignbridge is raising money for Rowcroft Hospice.

Carly Setherton’s home in Mallow Place in Newton Abbot is decorated with hundreds of lights to bring smiles to the faces of the community while raising money for the hospice in memory of her grandfather Fred Mason who died in 2016.

Carly said: ‘We enjoy bringing joy to the community and seeing all of the families reactions to so many lights.

‘We would like to use this opportunity to try and raise some money for a charity that we hold dear in our hearts, which provides such an important service and comfort for people and their families during end of life care.’

Last year’s lights raised more than £800 for the charity and Carly is hoping to beat that this year.

She said: ‘Experiencing for ourselves, the facilities and care Rowcroft provide for those last couple of weeks and final moments of someone's life, the difference this made to us as a family spending this very important time together could not have been better.

‘Rowcroft is run from donations and without them so many people may not have experienced end of life care like my Grandad did.

‘We will always be grateful for the time that Rowcroft gave us.’
