Celebrating Cadbury's

Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.

Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.

It was a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!

An afternoon with North East Producers

As part of our Saint Georges day Celebrations we welcomed Ava and Julia from North East Producers, with their travelling theatre show Musical memories.

Residents enjoyed clapping, toe tapping and getting involved with the music and theatre. Many memories were evoked with memories of first dances and moments that each song had fond associations with in the lives of each resident.

Celebrating Earth Day

Residents and staff at Mount Vale Care Home in Northallerton celebrated Earth day with a healthy nature stroll in their beautiful grounds. Residents were delighted to see the new growth of leaves and flowers blooming.

To add to their delight we found a lovely family of rabbits. We spoke about caring for the earth and many residents commented that they used to recycle long before it became “Fashionable”.

People reused brown paper bags, clothing was passed onto others. Memories of “waste not want not”, also meant that the planet was cared for.

Football Fever

Staff and residents have been gripped by football fever as they have a visit from Middleborough Football club Memorabilia Tour. Mount Vale Care Home in Northallerton hosted a football get together, where the residents were able to look over the past of Middleborough Football Team, Residents at the home have been looking forward to their visit. Seeing the many years of Boro artefacts that mean the world to the fans. A variety of different programs from the different matches full of all the best players. They were able to see the top and cap Alan Peacock wore when winning for England in 1962, been able to be so close to an amazing part of history brought tears to some eyes.

Come sing!

Residents across our homes and hospitals had a fantastic time with vocal coach Dan Cooper from Biiah as he led an amazing sing-a-long session for residents to enjoy. Residents who joined the event were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ by Jimmy Cliff and ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by The Beatles. Across our homes there were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.

Inside the Factory

We had a brilliant time across our services with Harrogate Skills 4 Living as they took us on a wonderful virtual visit to their Harrogate Chocolate Factory.

Residents were thrilled to discover details about the chocolate-making process and the fascinating journey from bean to bar, all while enjoying some delicious sweet treats.

The Factory aims to employ people with learning disabilities and autism, involving them in all parts of the process, from sorting and roasting the beans to packaging and sales. The experience was truly enjoyed by all who joined this event.
