LOCAL CARE HOME SUPPORTS WORLD HEALTH DAY

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Mount Vale care home in Northallerton have been marking World Health Day by taking part in a range of different activities to promote good health.

World Health Day took place in April. The idea behind the day is to shine a light on the benefits of good health and wellbeing around the whole world. Each year, World Health Day has a different focus - the theme for 2025 is ‘Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures.’ On its 77th anniversary, the World Health Organisation wants to champion improving maternal and new-born health and survival.

The staff and residents got into the spirit of the day by taking part in an exercise class with Mark – Mr Motivator before taking part in an organised walk where residents did several laps of the garden.

General Manager, Trudi Gillespie said: “Our residents had a Brilliant time today, they really enjoyed the Mr Motivator and our chef made some of the dishes from the healthy eating for lunch so everyone got to sample them.”

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
