Home complete fundraising chicken run!
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!

Spreading Easter Smiles with a Special Guest
This Easter at Collingtree Park Care Home, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy as residents enjoyed a delightful visit from the Easter Bunny, who brought smiles, laughter, and a touch of magic to everyone present.
The special guest spent time with residents, sharing warm hugs and friendly conversation. There were plenty of opportunities for photos, creating lovely memories that will be cherished by all. Residents thoroughly enjoyed the interaction, with many reminiscing about past Easter celebrations.
The visit created a wonderful sense of community and bringing everyone together. It was a heart-warming day full of smiles, laughter, and seasonal joy, truly capturing the spirit of Easter at Collingtree Park Care Home.
Easter Cheer Brings Generations Together
We enjoyed a fun-filled Easter, with activities ranging from a hot cross bun tasting to a visit from local nursery children.
Our `Buns & Bunnies` themed tasting saw residents sample hot cross bun flavours of strawberries & clotted cream, extra fruity, salted caramel & chocolate, cheese, and apple & cinnamon, with salted caramel and extra fruity crowned joint favourites.
A highlight of the Easter week was a visit from Rockers and Rollers Day Nursery for a garden egg hunt followed by a cheerful singalong. Resident Rose, fondly known as `Little Gran` to her great grandson who attends the nursery, helped hand out the treats.
These shared activities bring real joy and meaningful connection for everyone involved.
