    Care charity Harrogate Neighbours has hosted a walk and talk memory walk to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.

    Tenants, staff, relatives and friends of Harrogate Neighbours, which provides housing and meals for older people, took part in the walk on Saturday.

    The walkers, who ranged in age from 18 months to 95 years, completed a combined 36 miles by performing 144 laps of The Cuttings, which is an extra care housing scheme run by Harrogate Neighbours.

    Nearly half of Harrogate Neighbours' tenants and residents live with Alzheimer's, which is why the event was held in support of Alzheimer's Society.

    The walk encouraged those suffering with social isolation to talk to others.

    Sue Cawthray, chief executive of Harrogate Neighbours, said:

    “We’ve only recently been allowed to welcome children outdoors on site, so it was wonderful to see the smiles and interaction of the tenants.
    "Running an event like this is a great way to support not only a charity close to all of our hearts, but the wellbeing of our residents, tenants and staff by bringing everyone together to walk and talk in a covid-safe way.”


    The group reached 36 miles on Saturday and ranged in age from 18 months to 95 years.

    Further donations are expected to come in this week. To support the organisation click here.
