Call us on 01623 397750
Recently our walking club enjoyed a three-mile walk around the beautiful grounds of Chatsworth House. The route included a steep climb to the Tower via uneven steps, which proved challenging for some. While the fitter among us reached the top with ease, others took it at a more relaxed pace, with plenty of breaks to enjoy the scenery. The views from the top made the effort worthwhile.
At the Tower, we discovered a painted hidden rock on top of a brick shed, marked #NorthumberlandRock. Weāll rehide it during another walk to continue the fun for others.
The walk took us along peaceful footpaths and past waterfalls before looping back to our starting point. We ended the morning with coffee and cake at the cafĆ©āa satisfying finish to a lovely outing.
Great company and good weather made for a memorable day. Until next time!

What a fantastic turnout we had at this yearās Christmas Fayre! A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event ā you made it truly special.
Weād also like to give a big shoutout to Santa and his naughty elves for bringing some festive cheer (and a few giggles!). Of course, none of it would have been possible without the wonderful people who worked so hard behind the scenes to make it all happen ā thank you for your dedication and effort.
A special highlight this year was seeing some of our service users getting involved with their own stalls. They sold some incredible handmade items, including cakes, book Christmas trees, and adorable hedgehogs. It was wonderful to see their creativity and hard work shining through.
The day was a team effort, and we couldnāt be prouder of everyone who contributed. Thank you all for making this yearās fair such a success ā hereās to even more fun next year!
This weekās Wednesday cooking session at the hub was a hit! On the menu: delicious meatballs and a mouthwatering sticky toffee pudding for dessert. š
Cayton and Louise brought their energy and expertise, making the session both fun and informative. Everyone had a great time preparing (and eating!) the tasty dishes.
Itās always a joy to see the community coming together to cook, learn, and share a meal. We canāt wait to see whatās on the menu next week! š§āš³āØ
Stay tuned for more foodie fun!
Last week, members of the Gardening Club worked together to dig over most of the allotment. There’s a real sense of achievement in seeing all the progress we’ve made, and itās wonderful to share that feeling as a group.
Even better, we harvested some fresh carrots – perfect to add to our winter meals. These moments spent tending to the soil, sharing stories, and enjoying the harvest make Gardening Club so special.
It’s all about preparing for next year while enjoying the fruits (or veggies!) of our labour!
