Our Sherburn Aero Club
Tuesdays between 10am and 4pm
Sherburn Aero Club, New Lennerton Lane, Leeds, LS25 6JE
A friendly, welcoming space where members can enjoy companionship, engaging activities, and a truly unique aviation setting.
Our day club offers a wide range of enjoyable activities designed to encourage social interaction, creativity, and gentle stimulation. We have access to front-row views of aircrafts taking off and landing — something that never fails to spark conversation and interest.
Guests can relax and socialise in a warm, supportive environment while enjoying a delicious two-course lunch prepared by the onsite cafe. We also offer guided tours around the aircraft hangars and the aviation museum, giving members the opportunity to explore fascinating planes and aviation history up close.
With plenty to see and do, beautiful airfield views, and a caring community atmosphere, this location provides a memorable and enriching day out for everyone who attends.
Our Temple Newsam Club
Mondays between 10am and 4pm
Education Room, temple Newsam House, Temple Newsam Road, Leeds, LS15 0AE
Set within the beautiful grounds of Temple Newsam House, our Dementia Day Club offers a warm, welcoming place where people living with dementia can spend enjoyable, meaningful days in a safe and supportive environment.
Surrounded by stunning parkland, historic gardens, and peaceful walking paths, the club provides a calm and uplifting setting that naturally encourages relaxation, conversation, and gentle activity. The character and charm of Temple Newsam create a special atmosphere where visitors can feel comfortable, valued, and inspired by the beauty around them.
Each day is designed to be engaging and enjoyable, with a variety of activities tailored to different interests and abilities. Members can take part in arts and crafts, music and singing, reminiscence sessions, games, light exercise, gardening, and seasonal events. There are also opportunities to enjoy the gardens, feed the animals nearby, or simply relax with a cup of tea while taking in the views.

Meet our Dementia Care Specialists
Nicola & John
Hi, our names are Nicola and John and together we are excited to bring The Rainbow Dementia Services to the Wakefield area. Our hobbies are enjoying the great outdoors, sports (John), anything to do with animals (Nicola) and we give the same commitment to support others in their passions.
We have seen first-hand how small moments of understanding, patience, and genuine connection could transform even the most challenging days. We have also witnessed the emotional toll it can take on families and realised the urgent need for personalised, respectful care that truly honours the person behind the diagnosis.
We are excited to be able to join the Rainbow Care Group and knew it was our calling the moment we spent time in their clubs meeting many members and their families. It’s time for us to join the mission to make a difference!
Every person’s story matters, and it is our role to preserve those stories while creating moments of calm, joy, and connection each day.
Thank you for considering The Rainbow Care Group to walk alongside you and your family. Together, we can navigate this journey with compassion and dignity, one day at a time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the taster day free?
Totally. We want you to experience the day as if you were a full member. This means places are limited, so please contact us today to reserve a place.
Is it a full day or half day?
The day runs from 10am until 4pm. This is really important to give the carer a full day respite, but also to embed the loved one into the group. The change that takes place when someone gets a full day of stimulation is much faster, so beneficial all round.
Can the carer stay with the loved one?
We don’t advise this, no. This is because it is as important for the carer to get some time off and feel refreshed as it is for the loved one to feel part of the group.
Is there food?
Yes, we provide a healthy, nutritious lunch for all. (Allergies will be discussed prior to a taster day)
Do you give personal care?
We can provide personal care and we will deliver this support in the most respectful and dignified way possible. We provide a thorough assessment where we will be able to offer clarification on everything we can provide as part of our service.
Carol - A Carer's Perspective (Video)
As this video about Leeds rugby legend, John Atkinson, and his wife and carer Carol, testifies, Rainbow's Dementia Day Services really do make a difference. When it comes to dementia care, we look at the person and not the diagnosis.
