The Manor House Harrogate hosted its first summer fair on Saturday 29 June in glorious sunny weather.

Everyone enjoyed browsing various stalls with homemade bread and cakes and arts and craft items, alongside fair favourites such as the tombola. For lunch the home chefs created a delicious hot and cold buffet with a whole range of sweet treats. Musical entertainment was provided in the garden by ukelele band the Spa Town Ukes.

A team of staff from luxury care home Wetherby Manor took part in the Pretty Muddy Race For Life at Temple Newsam in Leeds on Saturday (1 June).

Home manager Judith Scurr said: "The event was great fun and together the team raised £350 for Cancer Research UK. We'd like to thank all our sponsors for their generosity for such a good cause. We're all keen to do the run again next year too."

Karen Brimble, operations manager at luxury elderly care provider Hadrian Healthcare Group, has gained Chartered Membership of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).
