Local Groups Host the Big Green Picnic at Boroughbridge Manor

Boroughbridge Manor Care Home and Right at Home - Harrogate came together in Boroughbridge to decide to host a community event as the groups held a ‘Big Green Picnic’ event to raise awareness for ‘Dementia Adventure’ a group who are helping people with dementia to access the wellbeing benefits of the outdoors and nature through supported holidays and training.

Residents, their relatives, staff and representatives from the local community all got involved with the picnic spirit as they traded stories of family trips away whilst enjoying the selection of traditional picnic items freshly prepared by the home’s head chef.

Veronica, Managing Director at Right at Home Harrogate, said:“At Right at Home Harrogate, it is so important to us that people living with dementia receive the right support, and that both they and their loved ones are cared for in a way that promotes good mental wellbeing. We are truly grateful to Barchester Healthcare for partnering with us on these special community events.
