The residents and staff of Highwood worked together to bake a variety of homemade cakes, with each person contributing their unique flair to the delightful treats. From traditional Victoria sponges to moist chocolate cakes and fruit-filled delights, the event was a true celebration of community spirit and collaboration. The coffee morning gave residents a meaningful way to stay involved in charitable work while also engaging with visitors from the surrounding community.
