Over 90s Party
How it works
We collect people from their home, residential care homes or respite care homes using Ilkley Community Transport and other local charitable organisations’ accessible minibuses. For people who are less mobile we provide transport for a partner or escort to assist with their needs and ensure they feel comfortable.
Who Can Benefit?
Residents of Addingham, Burley-In-Wharfedale, Ilkley, and Menston who are age 90 and over. Interested parties wishing to attend can contact us directly or alternatively a neighbour, family member, social worker or health worker can contact us with details.
This years party took place on Saturday September 27th 2025. The last event was attended by almost ninety over 90s residents, along with their friends, relatives and carers, enjoying an afternoon tea and a celebratory glass of Bucks Fizz.
The King was represented by Suzanne Watson, Deputy Lieutenant of West Yorkshire. Other honoured guests were Ilkley Town Mayor Jane Gibson, Ilkley Good Neighbours President Brian Mann and Mrs Sylvia Mann and MP Robbie Moore.
The party was compered by Isabel Ashman, Ilkley Town Crier.
The ever-popular Moor Notes, gave us a selection of golden oldies to sing along with.
The event would not have been possible without the help and support of so many of Ilkley and the district’s voluntary groups and individuals who gave up their time to help organise the day. Volunteers included students from the Air Cadets, plus many local groups including Ilkley Community Transport, Ilkley Round Table, Walker Foster Solicitors, Ilkley and The Clarke Foley Community Hub.
