Amazingly, residents of the Skegness Care Home have been wearing it pink for over 20 years.

”We’ve dressed up, baked, quizzed and pulled off all kinds of incredible sponsored challenges,” said Care Home Coordinator Cheryl Curtis.

“This time residents joined in the day because it is something very dear to their hearts.

"They dressed up and did many pink activities.

“The day included the walk for life around our garden, pink cake decorating and many other things pink.”
