For South Asian Heritage Month (SAHM) we were looking for volunteers to organise internal events – Ash stepped forward and put so much time and effort into setting up weekly events for both staff and service users to educate about, and celebrate, SAHM. These events were widely praised by staff and SUs, with requests for more just like it! Thankyou!
Recently I have been going through a difficult time dealing with bereavement & looking after my partner who has an on-going medical condition that requires treatment. Throughout this I have been supported by Penny, she is always there to listen,provides an empathetic ear & shows genuine concern. The care and support that was provided is second to none.
Gemma recently took a service user on their 1st ever holiday, they planned the holiday and did lots of activities while away for 4 days. The resident was pushed out his comfort zone and was extremely anxious while away, but Gemma eased his anxieties and gave lots of positive encouragement and reassurance. The resident came back and said “Thank you “
Kirsty is passionate about hunting down education information for each young person, and using her detective skills to track and trace EHCP documents, so ensuring that teaching staff have access to all relevant learning needs information as early as possible in the young persons admission, and can be appropriately supported in class.
Reece has gone above and beyond supporting a resident who was required to stay in hospital for a few days, as he came in on his days off to support the resident during the hospital stay, making sure his routine and needs were met as much as possible to make the stay as easy as possible for him, providing him with empathy and reassurance throughout.
Sam completed a presentation for a peer review for deaf services in Bury. Sam is well respected on the ward by both staff & patients, he strives above and beyond as a nurse for everyone he works with. Sam is keen to increase his knowledge & deaf awareness for all. His passion and dedication is amazing, thanks from the Management Team on the Dunes.
Lloyd has recently taken a resident from Cherry Tree abroad to Spain for a week. The build up from last year to the holiday has been incredible including late night and early morning trips to the airport. LLoyd has ensured that all was in place to make the residents first ever trip abroad and on a plane a success!
Natalie has recently supported a colleague during a difficult time in her life, she has supported them in and out of work, going above and beyond.
Natalie has shown real empathy and compassion, both professionally and personally. Natalie has taken the time to support her colleague to an important event and I think her kindness is commendable.

Alex has been supporting a patient who has a lot of SLT needs to complete his SLT exercises outside of sessions. It is clear from the amount of work he has spent a long time doing this with him to aid his rehabilitation and recovery. Alex has gone above and beyond to support somebody with communication needs. Thank you so much.
Sophie, Taiwo and Ayo went above and beyond their role. They did by supporting a resident move into Gotts Park, none are maintenance operatives; however the team worked together to make sure the resident had a smooth transition by making her flat looking amazing and person centred, the resident was thanked the staff for their support.
Kola, Iffy, Ife, Idris, Nathan, Angel and Tayo planned a Nigerian Independence Day at Gotts Park during Black history month. This was celebrated by staff and residents at local services, they did a presentation on the history, culture, language on Nigeria. Food was served from Nigeria and there was music and dance, which was great fun.
