Rishi Sunak visits residents of Southwoods in Northallerton

Rishi Sunak has visited a North Yorkshire care home, spending time with residents, families, and staff during an afternoon of autumn crafts.

Southwoods Nursing Home, in Northallerton, part of the Caring and Leading Homes Group, provides residential and nursing care for 32 residents, including a small dementia unit.

During the visit, Rishi joined residents in a wreath-making workshop as they created decorations in the dining room with residents, family, and the dedicated care team led by manager Helen Lewis.

The Richmond and Northallerton MP also drew the home’s raffle and met their much-loved Pets as Therapy dog, who is a regular source of comfort and companionship for residents.
