The organisation now operates nine properties and two day services, meeting the needs of more than 1,000 residents every year.

And the charity’s Cotleigh home in Hackenthorpe, added a special Wild West theme to the anniversary celebrations with their Country and Western summer party.

“We wanted to give our residents a day to remember and a classic Western theme was one that everybody seemed to enjoy,” said Cotleigh manager Nick Iwanejko.

“We couldn’t quite run to a full rodeo with real horses but residents and staff loved getting into their stetsons!”
