THORNTON-LE-DALE CARERS PREPARE TO JUMP FOR DEMENTIA
03/03/22
Three carers from The Hall care home in Thornton-Le-Dale are preparing to participate in a sky dive to raise money for a Yorkshire-based dementia charity.
The jump, which has been arranged by deputy manager Edna Harris, is set to take place on 20 March and the team are hoping to raise £500 for Dementia Forward.
It will be Edna’s second parachuting experience, and the first time for everybody else.
Dementia Forward is the leading dementia charity for York and North Yorkshire, providing support, advice and information to anybody affected by dementia across the region.
Edna Harris said: “At The Hall, we care for many residents who live with some form of dementia, and we’ve seen how it affects them and their families. It’s heart-breaking.
“Dementia Forward is a fantastic, locally-based charity, which offers invaluable support to people, and we want to help their fantastic fundraising work.
“Of course, jumping 13,000 feet out of a moving aeroplane is pretty scary, but we’re up for the challenge!”
Chris Mitchell, chairman at Park Lane Healthcare, which operates The Hall, said: “We’re incredibly proud of all of our staff, and this is a very worthy cause for fundraising.
“I know the residents are going to love seeing the photos and hearing about the sky dive afterwards.”
The Hall is a converted 17th Century home of landed gentry, which now serves as a 54-bed residential care home. It is rated “good” by the Care Quality Commission.
