Dementia care excellence in SOUTH YORKSHIRE

What should families consider when

Dementia care needs to be personcentred and grounded in expertise, empathy and consistency. Outram Fields is part of the award-winning Cinnamon Care Collection,

UK to roll out dementia accreditation with NaDCAS (National Dementia Care Accreditation Scheme) to all its care homes. The NaDCAS framework focuses on nine

key assessments designed to support people living with dementia. These include care teams ensuring daily interactions promote meaningful engagement and independence; a care home environment that is welcoming and familiar and aims to cultivate social warmth and a strong sense of belonging; care teams that build trusting relationships with residents and leadership that ensures a positive culture of care remains consistent in all interactions.

How do you accommodate people

That is such an important question and central to why we have opened a new

If a resident with will still be able to have anything from the menu, as chefs are trained to IDDSI (International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative) and all homes take part in regular IDDSI workshops, so kitchen and care staff understand textured

Why is design important in dementia

Last year Outram Fields won the prestigious Healthcare Design Awards for Best Interior Design. We understand that careful consideration of sensory stimulus can minimise stress and distress for people in the later stages of dementia. As as a customised tool to assist residents with dementia to navigate their way around.

The strategy incorporates themed objects and artwork at decision points along corridors that act as orientation landmarks. Residents are actively encouraged to engage with displayed items, and each distinctive landmark is designed to be visually pleasing to residents and not clinical or patronising.

Choreographed by the multi-awardwinning Annabelle Lopez Ochoa with Dance Artist and singer/songwriter Jemima of a majority female artistic team that also the BBC/HBO TV series Gentleman Jack), the ballet will be performed to new, live music composed by Peter Salem.

We spoke to three of the ballet’s leading stars: Gemma Coutts, who plays Anne Lister; Rachael Gillespie playing the part of Ann Walker; and Saeka Shirai as Marianna Lawton.

Tell us a bit about your dance journey, how long have you been dancing with Northern Ballet?

Gemma: I grew up in Thailand, where I

Saeka: I’m from Osaka, Japan and trained with the Yuki Ballet Studio and Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. I danced with Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet for four years and then with Poznan Opera Ballet for two. This is my fourth season with Northern Ballet.

to create the ballet? What stuck you most about her story?

Gemma: No, I was not aware of Anne Lister or her story prior to the ballet.

and the social impact of her actions really stood out to me.

Rachael: Her strength, courage and intelligence really stood out for me.

To step out of social expectations to be her true self is so brave and empowering.

Saeka: I had some awareness of Anne Lister before working on the ballet, and what struck me most was her courage.

How have you found the process of working with Annabelle Lopez Ochoa (choreographer) to create the ballet and originate this role?

Gemma: I have really enjoyed working with Annabelle. She is a passionate woman who knows what she wants. This means that we work quickly and with purpose, which suits my style and has allowed us to really dive into the roles.

Saeka: It’s been an inspiring and collaborative process. She knows very clearly what she wants, which I found very similar to Anne Lister herself. That clarity made the creative process focused and

exciting, especially when originating a new role.

What are you most looking forward to about performing - do you have a favourite place to visit?

Gemma: I am looking forward to performing in London as my family are coming to watch all the way from Indonesia. I always enjoy my time in London as I get to see many friends from

Saeka: Wherever we go, the audience is always so warm and welcoming. It really means everything to us. I hope the ballet brings them as much joy as they give us.

Are you excited to be premiering in Leeds, portraying a real person and story rooted here in Yorkshire?

Rachael: It’s always so special for us to tour and share our stories across the UK. We have an incredible amount of loyalty from our audiences, old and new - so it’s so important to keep them involved with our performances.

Saeka: Yes, of course we are very excited!

The mundane is often rendered fantastical through counterpoints of location, colour or motif, which remove the work from its foundation in reality.

The characters encountered in Mosley’s connect with each other and the landscape around us. Whether revealing musicians in night clubs or individuals dwarfed by the enormity of the natural world, each of the paintings he creates sees the human condition scrutinised through his painter’s lens.

Matthew Rhodes is blown away by a recipe passed down through the generations at new Ecclesall Road venue, Mezwaani Restro & Bar.

Atypical Indian restaurant of days gone by used to involve a dimly lit restaurant with white tablecloths, a BYOB policy or a small drinks menu featuring large bottles of offering the familiar line-up of mild, medium, or hot ‘British curry’ classics.

How times have changed!

My wife and I visited the newly opened Mezwaani on Ecclesall Road on a Saturday night, which could not be further from the traditional curry house of the nineties. One side is a huge modern lounge area with a large bar running down one side with very comfortable low seating and on the other side a stunning restaurant. No expense has been spared, with intricate details on the décor throughout. The place was busy including a table of 35 in the restaurant side, so we were seated in the lounge area which was perfect for us.

We were presented with a cocktail menu and an excellent wine list and we settled on a lovely bottle of Pinot Noir, reasonably

priced at £31. As I’m often drawn to red wine with spicy food it was an excellent choice (If I say so myself). The menu is 15 pages long and has an emphasis on Indian on some dishes and street food options.

We were served a complimentary portion of poppadoms, which were in small pieces individually fried, unlike the traditional way of serving the whole poppadom to break up yourself.

We were served by Roshan who was an absolute credit to the place for the entire evening and nothing was too much trouble. I ordered the Malai Lamb Chops to start which were cooked to perfection combined with excellent spicing. My wife went for the Nilgiri Prawns - four giant prawns that were bright green from the mint and coriander in the marinade.

For mains we chose ‘Grandma’s Chicken Curry’ and Saag Lamb, with Jeera Rice and a Paratha Bread to accompany. Both curries were rich and delightful and a level above the standard of traditional curries.

The lamb was so tender and just the right spice to balance with the bitter spinach. Grandma played an absolute blinder with the chicken curry, and it was probably one of the best chicken curries I have ever had (nice to see she is still able to work in the kitchen at her age!).

We didn’t order dessert, but we enjoyed a complimentary ‘Indian Baileys’ style hot towel in sight.

All the dishes were fantastic, matched with great service in a modern setting on a busy Saturday night.

I think Mezwaani will become a long-term feature of Ecclesall Road. For those that want to level up their Indian dining experience, it is an exemplar of multicuisine eating - you won’t be disappointed!

That special FEELING

Losehill House Hotel & Spa exceeds Richard Abbey’s expectations.

revious visits to Losehill House Hotel & Spa have been dominated by spectacular views; the hotel sits in a valley between Win Hill and Lose Hill and offers some of the most picturesque views of the Peak District.

PBut, as we move into spring and haven’t quite set the clocks forward just yet, an evening visit keeps those views hidden behind low-lying cloud and dark nights.

This doesn’t make a visit to Losehill any less spectacular. The hotel, which has been in the Roden family since 2007, is a stunning space with 22 bedrooms, a spa and ample grounds to explore. It’s also a popular wedding spot and can cater for celebrations up to 120 people.

Grafene, the hotel’s restaurant, is open to visitors as well as hotel guests and is largely housed in an orangery overlooking the countryside. It has a Double AA Rosette Award for Culinary Excellence and was recently listed by The Times as one of their ‘20 Best Wild Places to Eat in Britain’.

As throughout the hotel, the restaurant champions the Peak District as much suppliers referenced through the menus.

On the evening of our visit there’s a choice of two – a three-course a la carte (£67.50) or six-course tasting menu (£90).

After enjoying a drink in the lounge – a gin-based English Garden cocktail (£14) for my wife and a glass of Renishaw Hall Madelaine Angevine/Solaris/Bacchus (£8 for 125ml) for myself – we decided to order from the former.

Canapes of a miniature cheese and ham toastie and roasted red pepper and chive quiche were enjoyed before we were shown to our table.

Still warm beer and treacle bread quickly arrived with a quenelle of whipped Henderson’s Relish butter – as good as earnest.

As with everything at Losehill, presentation is of the highest standard and our starters didn’t disappoint. The meaty

terrine were offset by sharp pickled carrots and shallots as well an earthy black garlic mayonnaise.

My wife’s 63º duck egg yolk, served with asparagus, wild garlic oil, brown butter brioche croutons, hollandaise sauce,

more than a hint of richness.

Creedy Carver duck breast was served pink and had lovely crisp skin and paired well with a duck fat hasselback potato, salt baked celeriac and honey and balsamic glazed beetroot. A duck and orange sauce

Watson’s Losehill lamb cannon was very in season and blushingly pink and served with pommes anna, turnips, kohlrabi, salsa verde, crispy anchovy and a lamb jus. It paired well with a glass of Müenzenrieder pinot noir (£8.50 for 125ml). We also shared some buttered seasonal greens (£5).

Desserts have always been a cut above

the form of Yorkshire forced rhubarb and a Calvados and burnt apple parfait.

Every visit to Losehill House Hotel feels special is enhanced by the excellent food and superb service. Being able to enjoy those spectacular views is an added bonus.

Chris Wilson enjoys the opportunity to relax.

uilt in 1908 and named after a local family whose ancestry dates back to 1415, The Maynard has a proud place in the history of classic Derbyshire dining establishments.

BIt’s more than just a restaurant of course. As a hotel it has attracted the great and the good for decades, welcoming famous names with a strong sporting connection after hosting the touring national cricket teams from Australia in 1938 and the West Indies in the 1950s.

Meanwhile it has maintained its

sought-after wedding venues in the region. The beautiful setting in the heart of the Hope Valley has always been a showstopper and the fabulous garden lends itself perfectly to a spectacular wedding album.

Recent years have seen a tasteful restoration. Formerly the Maynard Arms, it was rebranded as The Maynard in 2007

balancing act of remaining true to its history while offering a dining option that is both beautifully comfortable and totally contemporary.

On my latest visit I found dinner at The Maynard to be a real treat. The menu has a great balance of familiar pub classics and more modern bistro-style cuisine. It’s also good to see that virtually everything on the menu is sourced from local farms and suppliers.

Feeling immediately at home, thanks to the friendliest of welcomes from a very attentive staff and the nicely relaxed ambience in the immaculately spacious yet intimate restaurant, this was the perfect setting for comfort food with more than a touch of class.

To start, cured tuna and salmon ballotine, wrapped in seaweed and served with a bouillabaisse sauce, grilled spring onions and a rocket salad (£12.95) was both

That moist, moreish tuna was really worth lingering over.

Our second starter was rather more robust and equally impressive. Rabbit and mustard

sauce and more of those accompanying grilled spring onions with rocket salad

and slightly crunchy shell.

The menu as a whole combines hearty dishes such as steaks and pies with lighter, more seasonal fare, including my pan-fried duck-breast, hoisin duck pate wrapped in spinach pancake, sweet potato puree, tempura broccoli, cashew and hoisin sauce (£24.95). There was some very precise cooking happening here and the duck, served blushingly pink, was tender, juicy, salty and with all the accompaniments matching perfectly, made for a completely satisfactory main course.

Slow-cooked lamb shank served with sauteed new potatoes, with persillade, grilled asparagus and red wine jus (£24.95)

tender, sticky and falling off the bone, was faultless.

Portions are on the generous side, but we couldn’t resist a side order of dauphinoise potatoes (£4.95). There’s a great wine list too, reasonably priced and curated with great skill, from special occasion big-hitters to very reasonably priced house wines. A large glass of the Rubic Garnacha (£8.45) matched those meaty mains ideally.

Many restaurant menus fall short on desserts, but The Maynard maintains its high standards with light, sweet options. Eton mess with white chocolate and strawberry tiramisu (£9.95) was a delicate delight and The Maynard Gourmand Verre

served with a glass of dessert wine.

Dinner at The Maynard brings the opportunity to relax in the luxurious setting of one of Derbyshire’s longest-standing hotels where old school service and comfort meet contemporary cuisine. It’s well worth going the extra mile.

Hallamshire Golf Club’s revamped pro shop is open to all and is an exclusive stockist of L.A.B. putters.

TThere’s a new look to Hallamshire Golf Club’s pro shop – and it’s open to everyone, not just club members.

The refurbished shop is more akin to a luxury boutique than the familiar cluttered spaces of traditional golf shops. Floorto-ceiling, stylishly-lit wooden shelving houses the latest premium clothing brands from the likes of J. Lindeberg, Peter Millar, Kjus and Galvin Green as well as shoes from G/Fore.

In addition to providing the best golf fashion options the shop also stocks clubs from brands such as Ping, Callaway, Taylor Made, Titleist, Srixon and Cobra. It also has a state-of-the-art Trackman studio for

exact length, lie angle, grip, shaft type, and alignment aids necessary to take your putting game to new heights.

Head Professional Joe Froggatt is one of three PGA professionals working in the pro shop and is always on hand to offer expert advice as well as coaching. Joe has worked at Hallamshire since summer 2015 and has been the head pro since January 2018. He has an excellent reputation throughout the local area as a coach and has his Level 1 & 2 Trackman accreditations.

“The shop is unlike anything else,” said Joe. “We’ve got the latest products, the premium brands that you know and love and plenty of expertise should you need it. And you don’t have to be a member to visit; wherever you play golf, if you’re in the market for some new clubs or clothing,

services, everything is tailored to you.”

Joe is joined by Assistant Head Professional Joshua Morley, who joined the team at Hallamshire in November 2021 and turned professional in 2022, completing his PGA training in 2025.

Since turning pro, Josh’s primary focus

turned to coaching and he is building a rapidly growing client base on all aspects of the game, with particular specialism in

to deliver detailed, data-driven coaching tailored to each player. Capto devices are utilised to capture precise information to help you understand and improve your putting mechanics.

The Club recently supported Josh in installing a movable putting green for specialism even further. It is one of the only such facilities in the city.

Member or otherwise, call into the pro shop and let them take your golf game to the next level with the help of Joe and his team who pride themselves in providing the very best of service and care.

Standing TOGETHER

We’re now less than 100 days away from the FIFA World Cup and what better way to build the momentum than with the release of a football-themed single?

‘Stand Together’ has been recorded by local band, Ri-Fi, and will be released on streaming and download platforms on 3 April. This will coincide with a very special

United take on Swansea. Ri-Fi will be performing before the game in the fanzone, located on the corner of Cherry Street and Shoreham Street, and will be interviewed on the pitch at half time.

But there’s much more to the song than just being a football anthem.

The song was originally penned by Keith Haynes for the 2014 Brazil World Cup and was found on his iPad after his passing. His son, Anthony, approached work colleague and Ri-Fi lead singer Dan Haynes (no relation) and asked if he would like to

They jumped at the chance.

Anthony and Dan both work for tool manufacturer Rothenberger and other band members – Lee Whitehead, Andy Matthews and Richard Jowers – all work in

construction related industries. Given this connection, they decided to use the song as a platform to raise mental health awareness in the industry.

Construction is one of the toughest industries to work in, both physically and mentally, with a suicide rate four-times the national average. Anyone who has worked on a building site will have tales of banter and bravado but what do you do if things aren’t too good? Fear of ridicule can often lead to workers dealing with struggles – be they anxiety, depression or stress – alone. But help is available.

counselling for tradespeople and has been quick to show their support for the single.

On The Tools – the nation’s largest online construction community – and Construction Sport – who create leisure opportunities –have also jumped on board and working in tandem with the band, are also aiming to raise money for The Lost City – Project

will be donated to this charity, who aim to raise £2.5million nationally to fund therapy sessions for tradespeople across the UK.

“Stand Together is a project built around football and music and something that

matters far beyond both: looking out for each other,” said Richard Jowers. “It’s about unity and community and shining a light on mental health in the industry.”

Alongside the release of the single, Ri-Fi are selling Stand Together t-shirts and have a unique ‘brick wall’ where businesses can sponsor a brick. This will take pride of place on stage at every band performance.

Through downloads and streams, the band are hoping to crack the Top 75 and who knows, you may hear the chorus playing over the end credits of Match of the Day after a famous England victory.

Ri-Fi will be ramping up the live performances in the coming months, getting you well and truly in the mood for football’s most prestigious tournament, which this year takes place in USA, Canada and Mexico from 11 June to 19 July.

our wedding rings are an important part of your big day and will remain with you throughout your marriage as a symbol of the love you share and the promises you have made to each other.

Increasingly couples wish to make their wedding rings extra special by adding personal touches and we have a variety of ways to help you make your rings as individual as your relationship.

We are regularly asked if we can make wedding bands out of customer’s gold or platinum. The answer is yes! Supplying metal for your rings can allow you to transfer the sentimental value of family heirlooms; many customers will use pieces of jewellery, perhaps even wedding rings, left to them by family members, giving the new rings a rich, unique and personal history.

As an extra local detail, the rings will

experienced goldsmiths will melt your jewellery into a single piece and work it

This process can be used to create a classic

band or one specially shaped to sit next to an engagement ring if required.

Your handmade ring can be further personalised by adding a pattern or setting it with diamonds: there are a wide range of options available to allow your wedding ring to match an existing engagement ring

style. You may even be able to use stones from your original jewellery depending on

their rings with a personalised message

engraved inside the band. This could be the date of your wedding, your initials or lyrics

yours. You can choose from a selection of different font styles.

If you prefer to wear metals with a silver colour but want to use family gold, then our expert team of goldsmiths have some clever solutions. Using a platinum or white gold band for the main body of the ring, we can inlay a narrow strip of your gold

if you don’t want any gold on show we can use your metal as the core band with a solid white metal overlay. When the ring is being worn the gold cannot be seen but if you take the ring off you can see the extra special core beneath.

Keeping Perspective in a Noisy World

Global events dominate the headlines, and financial markets react. By the time this goes to print, the story and market response may have changed again. That’s the nature of both politics and markets - they change and move on.

So why do people panic? There is plenty in the world to feel concerned about, and it’s entirely valid to feel that way. But your investments and long-term financial planning should not be one of those worries.

Short-term market fluctuations are a normal part of investing, and political uncertainty is ever present. A clear and robust financial plan, combined with a well-diversified portfolio, spread appropriately across regions, sectors and asset types in line with your risk profile, helps

ensure that no single event defines your financial future.

With the new tax year beginning on 6 April, it’s also a sensible time to review your financial planning and tax allowances. ISA subscriptions reset, pension contribution opportunities refresh, and small, timely decisions can reduce unnecessary tax and support long-term plans.

For individuals, families and business owners across Sheffield and the surrounding areas, taking stock now can make a meaningful difference.

If you would value clear, independent advice tailored to your own circumstances, we would be pleased to help. Pick up the phone and give us a call - we’re always happy to have an initial chat.

A school where everyoneBELONGS

uch of what makes Westbourne distinctive cannot be captured in a single headline or statistic. It is found in the everyday moments of school life: the buzz of purposeful learning in classrooms, children collaborating in music rehearsals, laughter echoing across House events, and pupils discovering learning in The Dell. These experiences, alongside an enriched and dynamic curriculum, shape young people who are curious, kind and ambitious.

At Westbourne, learning extends far beyond the classroom walls. Our pupils enjoy hands-on experiences in the wider community, helping them understand the world around them and see their learning in real contexts. Our collaborative music programme is a wonderful example of this. Throughout the year, our musicians perform an array of concerts from formal performances
