Staff and residents of Barley View are stepping out for Dementia UK
Staff and residents at Barley View care home in Whitworth are aiming to rack up a massive 1 million steps throughout May to help raise money for Dementia UK.
Organised by Gemma Howarth, activities coordinator at Barley View, the fundraiser looks set to surpass its initial £250 target, with 100% of donations going to support the work of Dementia UK.
The purpose-built care home, which opened in 2019, benefits from its own dedicated dementia community providing specialist support for residents living with the condition -providing residential and respite care as well as specialist provision.

Not quite a hill, but the views from this iconic sandstone escarpment are arguably the finest in all of Cheshire. This walk explores the wonderful terrain that surrounds the famous village.

That when such matches were,
Those outlaws stout, without [all] doubt,
Would be the bowmen there.
So an arrow with a golden head
And shaft of silver white,
Who won the day should bear away
For his own proper right.
Fans of the tales of Robin Hood – either from the actual English ballads or the movies like “
The Adventures of Robin Hood” starring Errol Flynn (still the best) will remember the trap set by the dastardly Sheriff of Nottingham using an archery contest, where the prize would be a silver arrow with a golden head. The Sheriff knew Robin and his men couldn’t resist the competition and sure enough, they showed up in disguise, with Robin winning the contest, getting the arrow and (in the movie) a kiss from Marian. It’s all a legend … right? Not according one man who claims he found the arrowhead from the actual silver arrow in Sherwood Forest … which just might be definitive proof that Robin Hood was a real person.
