A sponsored walk turned into a nostalgic journey for Mandale House care home residents – when they pounded the pavements to raise funds.

A group of residents, colleagues, and their families covered more than four miles in a loop to the Tees Barrage and back for the fundraiser.

It is truly amazing to see the community that is being built around the home doing good together!

The first of a new monthly social group took place at The Gables in Middlesbrough, to mark Friendship Day in the UK.

Residents from Hazelgrove Court in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Care Home in Ingleby Barwick, and The Beeches, in Stockton-on-Tees, all travelled to The Gables for this first gathering.

The idea came from Samantha McCormick, activities coordinator at The Gables, who wanted to bring residents from Hill Care Group homes together to form new bonds and share stories.

🌍 Celebrating the Impact of Our International Colleagues 🌍

At Hill Care, we’re proud to be home to a diverse and passionate team — including many international colleagues who have joined us through sponsorship or displacement.

Today, we’re sharing a special interview with Ewelina Sosnowska, Home Manager at Sycamore Hall Care Home, who began her journey with us as an international recruit herself:

Her words are a powerful reminder that care has no borders — and that the passion, dedication, and heart our international colleagues bring make a lasting difference every day.

🎨✨ A Proud Moment for Deangate! ✨🎨

We are absolutely thrilled to share that two of our talented residents, Pat and Peter, have had their artwork unveiled at Experience Barnsley: Museum & Discovery Centre as part of a brand-new permanent exhibition celebrating creativity and community. 💫

Pat and Peter’s beautiful work now sits proudly on display for all to see — and to make the moment even more special, the exhibition was officially opened by none other than the Mayor of Barnsley, Councillor David Leech, a great friend of Deangate and long-time supporter of our veteran community. 🇬🇧🖼️

It's a true honour to see our residents' talents recognised in such a meaningful way. A huge well done to Pat and Peter — you’ve made us all so proud!

Special thank you to Charlotte Fairclough, the local artist who has been a huge part of the process and to Steven Skelley, the head curator at Experience Barnsley for all the support and the moving speech at the opening.

Today we would like you to meet Precious who joined us from Nigeria.

She tells the story of how she had always dreamed of coming to the UK to make a difference and how her initial experience arriving on sponsorship with a different providor was not a positive one, lacking training or the quantity of shifts promised.

Now she is with Hill Care on our displaced workers initiative she is doing incredible work with our residents and has become part of the family.
