Care home residents in Barnsley have created a music video for Children in Need – showcasing the area’s industrial heritage.

The project at Hill Care’s Deangate Care Home was organised by the Barnsley Healthcare Federation, Barnsley Older People Physical Activity Alliance and chair-based age and dementia friendly exercise programme, Love to Move.

Hannah, from Love to Move, said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed working with everyone to produce our Love to Move for Children in Need video.

“By getting so many people involved in our crazy idea, I feel we have brought so much joy and happiness to each resident, as well as reminiscing on times gone by and discussing what memories the residents have from listening to the songs within Love to Move.

“It really has been amazing to see the community of care homes from across Barnsley come together for such an important cause.”

Rachael Addy, activities coordinator at Deangate Care Home, said: “Everyone was so excited to be part of the Barnsley Children in Need video. We’re so grateful to be invited to take part.

“Hannah has been delivering the Love to Move sessions since the start of the year and it’s been fabulous to see the residents use the moves they been learning in a video production.

“The sessions are incredible. The interaction and enjoyment were brilliant for the residents. I would highly recommend it to anyone living with or without dementia. It’s enjoyable for everyone.”

The finished music video was sent to the Children in Need production team with the hope it will be included in tonight’s broadcast. The care home is also using the day to fundraise for the charity.
