CREATIVE residents and staff at a Worcester nursing home have raised £500 for the victims of the Asian tsunami.

Floral cards, knitted scarves and paintings made by the pensioners of Henwick Grange Nursing Home, in Hallow Road, went on sale at a jumble sale and raffle in aid of the relief fund.

"The residents and staff decided we should do something, however small, for the tsunami appeal," said proprietor Derek Jones.

"Everyone was very generous giving or buying and a very nice gesture was made by Mr and Mrs Jones, who offered to double what we raised, making a grand total of £500."
