One of the traditional annual highlights on the Sunset Homes calendar is the Sunset Homes Annual Fun Day held on the company’s original office grounds, in Caul’s Bottom, every year over the period August 2002 until 2019.
The company’s employees and community volunteers would come together and put on a grand fair – including children’s booths, sporting and fun games – attracting scores of families from the neighbouring villages, for a day of camaraderie and sharing. This fair culminated in the famously contested Tug O’ War – including the young and old – and the day rounded off with gift giving of school supplies to the children, just in time for the upcoming academic school year.
In 2020, and now in 2021, pandemic precautions have curtailed the event to a mobile gift giving drive as, more than ever; students are in need of school supplies.
Special thanks is extended to Joe Williams (Joe B), who is active in mobilising the supplies collection drive in the US, and Charlene Roach, Zoey Roach, Zariah Roach and Joan Johnson for their invaluable help in collaborating with Sunset Homes to coordinate this well-received initiative.
Profound thanks goes out to our loyal overseas contributors who donated supplies including:
