A team from Oulton Manor took part in the Alzheimer’s Society Memory Walk on Saturday 23 September, held in the beautiful parkland of Temple Newsam in Leeds.

The event aims to raise awareness and to raise funds for scientific research and to help support people living with dementia. This year over 4,000 people of all ages took part.

This year two Hadrian Healthcare homes have been recognised in the Yorkshire in Bloom awards. Wetherby Manor has won gold again for the third year running, and first-time entrant The Manor House Knaresborough has picked up a silver award.

Staff from both the homes represented the gardening teams at the awards ceremony at York Racecourse on 12 September.

Wetherby Manor’s annual Summer Fayre took place on Saturday 9 September.

“Everyone who came to join our residents and staff in an afternoon of fun and music had a great time, and made the event really successful,” said Judith Scurr, manager of Wetherby Manor.

Residents, families and staff really looked the part to revisit the 1960s for a special themed day on 20 August.

Senior carer Janet Ashton organised the event. She said: “There was a great buzz about the whole day with lots for everyone to enjoy including songs, dancing and live entertainment.

Some very unusual guests made a very big impression at Oulton Manor’s Summer Fayre on Saturday 19 August. Morley Exotic Animal Rescue Centre brought a range of the animals they currently have in their care, from a tiny marmoset monkey to a 12ft long python.
