A care home has treated firefighters to homemade cakes on Emergency Services Day.

The Belmont care home, part of Sanders Senior Living, in Worcester, showed their appreciation for the dedication of emergency workers on Monday, September 9 by baking and delivering cakes to Worcester Fire Station.

The care home's kitchen team prepared butterfly cupcakes, presented in patterned boxes, which were delivered by customer relations manager Carla Sidaway.

Ms Sidaway said: "It was a great experience to visit the fire station and to meet the team, they were so welcoming and got the kettle on straight away.

"I had a tour around the station and found out about the routine of the station.

"It was great to see the background running of the station and see the fire trucks.

"I hope this will be the start of a good relationship between the fire station and The Belmont."

BBC Hereford and Worcester were also present at the station, conducting interviews, and Ms Sidaway was invited to join the broadcast.

The care home and fire station are now planning more collaborative events, with discussions for a future visit where residents can tour the station.

The fire crew has also offered to provide a fire safety talk at the care home.

Tristan Lockyer, watch commander at Worcester Fire Station, said: "I would like to take the opportunity to thank you, your staff, and residents for the cakes today.

"It was great to meet you, and the cakes have now all gone.

"The morning was a great success, and the crews really appreciated your support for Emergency Services Day.

"The coverage from BBC Hereford and Worcester was also amazing – thank you so much for taking part."

Stephanie Howard, home manager at the care home, said: "The Belmont team was privileged to treat our 999 services to some delicious cakes and goodies.

"This is just a small token of appreciation for all the hard work they do in our community.

"The residents and staff look forward to welcoming the fire crew to our beautiful home for more coffee and cake soon."
