This has been a season of achievement and connection across Northern Healthcare, from being named a finalist at the 2025 LaingBuisson Awards for our partnership with Bury Metropolitan Borough Council on Saxon House, to seeing so many examples of recovery-focused progress and community engagement across our services.
From the outset, the team at Amy Johnson House worked closely with Mark to develop a tailored Care and Support Plan focused on stability, confidence-building, and gradual community engagement.
Initially quiet and hesitant, Mark slowly began to open up, forming positive relationships with both staff and peers. Over time, he became one of the most sociable people in the service,
known for his sharp wit, sense of humour, and ability to lift everyone’s spirits!
The August 2025 edition of Insight highlights Northern Healthcare’s commitment to inclusion and empowerment. From Social Inclusion Day at Radcliffe Football Club to a new garden at Montgomery House, and Anthony’s inspiring journey toward independence, these stories celebrate collaboration and growth. We also share the announcement of Dawn Cropper as our new Chief Operating Officer, illustrating how we’re growing stronger together, led by leaders who champion person-centred support.
When Andrew arrived at Olton Grange, he was withdrawn, struggling with severe anxiety and depression, and dependent on others for even the simplest daily tasks. In just three months, he has rebuilt routines, gained confidence in cooking, shopping, and personal care, and begun reconnecting with activities he enjoys. His progress is a testament to his resilience and the impact of compassionate, consistent support.
When Anthony first arrived at Olton Grange, he struggled to communicate, manage daily routines, or believe a fulfilling life was possible. With personalised support and clear goals, he has transformed over the past year and a half, gaining confidence, taking full ownership of his health and wellbeing, and preparing to live independently. His story is a powerful example of how determination and the right support can unlock lasting change.
When Julia arrived at Holly Court following a hospital stay, she was struggling with severe mental and physical health challenges. Initially hesitant to engage, she has since made remarkable progress through consistent, compassionate support. With the help of our team, Julia built trust, embraced daily routines, and steadily regained her independence - from managing her flat to actively pursuing a future with her partner. Her story highlights the power of personalised care and the positive impact of a supportive environment.
