Accessible and sustainable award-winning Hoe Grange Holidays, renowned for offering wheelchair accessible holidays in the Peak District, is proud to be the first accommodation provider in the UK to be accredited as ‘Dementia Inclusive’.
The new accreditation scheme has been developed by Dr Carol Sargent, founder of Sargent Group Consulting. Carol is a specialist in inclusive tourism for people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
“The accreditation scheme was inspired by my personal experience with taking both my mum Liz and my mother in law Iris away – one had vascular dementia and the other Alzheimer’s. This led to me becoming heavily involved in educating the travel and tourism sector about the dementia community.
“This scheme evaluates staff, the environment, the equipment, the activities and marketing around a venue and applies the knowledge I gained over many years,” Carol said.
Alongside her personal experience, Carol has comple..

Each year, individuals born on or near Christmas Day navigate the festive season with a birthday that often merges with the Yuletide spirit. This distinctive timing can lead to a complex mix of emotions and experiences for the birthday celebrants.
For those whose special day falls close to Christmas, the situation is quite similar. While the world revels in the fresh promise of the New Year, these individuals may find their birthday overshadowed by global celebrations.
The common practice among friends and family varies; some opt to give two separate gifts for Christmas and birthday, ensuring each occasion is recognised individually. Others may choose to combine the two into one, often larger, gift given on Christmas Day. There are no hard and fast rules, leading to a spectrum of feelings from those who have their birthdays around this busy time of year.
In response to the age-old conundrum of combined gifts or separate presents for Christmas babies, a new trend is emerging. Gifting a ..

Cycling in the Highlands: Experience Scotland’s Natural Wonders on Two Wheels

News provided by Bike the UK for MS on Wednesday 14th Feb 2024

“It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.”
Ernest Hemingway
