Staff at Leeming Bar have taken part in a sponsored fun run to raise money for Leeming Bar Grange Resident’s Fund.

Staff had an egg-cellent time taking part in the 5k Northallerton Parkrun as part of the home’s 'Chicken Run' fundraiser. All in support of raising funds for some egg-stra special Easter treats for their wonderful residents! There were smiles, laughter, and a few speedy sprints along the way, and they even managed to answer the age-old question of who came first, the chicken or the egg! Despite ending up as roasted chickens and a fried egg, everyone did egg-cellently! 

For Eileen's milestone birthday, the Farley Gardens team worked with her loved ones to plan a surprise celebration for the birthday girl with her nearest and dearest, enjoying a special afternoon tea with bubbles in our private dining room.
