New Walking club at The Orchard

The Orchard Nursing Home have started a walking club throughout January for the residents, to get them out in the fresh air. The residents have been taking short walks either around the grounds of the home or a walk into the community to grab a coffee and cake with the well-being team. This will help get them prepared for the homes Walk A Thon in February where they will be walking half a marathon around the grounds of the home and raising money for Purple Angels, who help raise Dementia awareness around the world. This will be 196 times around the home! Residents, relatives, friends and staff and community members will all be joining in for this good cause.
