Change & Humanity
“I have a fantastic team of therapy staff who throughout the pandemic have never stopped seeing people in their own homes for therapy rehab intervention ; and who have delivered basic equipment to ensure clients are supported and able to live as independently as possible; and staff who have worked through the snow engaging their partners to drive 4×4 cars so that clients needs can be met; for staff who voluntary have worked late so that they can get food for clients discharged late from hospital; staff who have consistently turned up for work; supported each other; and who care and have kept going! A top team!”
