Middlethorpe Hall’s kitchen will also prepare homemade biscuits for these sessions.

Throughout May, the hotel will also donate up to £15 when selected GAIA Skincare treatments are booked at its spa which is popular among hotel guests and York residents alike. The Spa Membership Club is designed for locals, allowing daily access to facilities including a large indoor pool, steam room, spa bath, sauna, gym and club room.

Margaret Webster, complementary therapy lead at St Leonard’s Hospice, said: “We’re incredibly grateful that Middlethorpe Hall will be supporting us in this way.

“Complementary therapies are so important for people’s wellbeing, providing many benefits, including relief from emotional stress and anxiety, improved mood restful sleep and, depending on the treatment, reduced muscle aches and pains.

“The therapists’ weekly visits to our Wellbeing Drop-in during May will be a welcome treat for our attendees, supporting our wider complementary therapy programme at the hospice for patients and carers.

“We can only do what we do at St Leonard’s thanks to the generous support of our community and local businesses like Middlethorpe Hall. Thank you for helping us be there when people need us most.”
