A resident who is going through a difficult time and requiring additional support at the moment. There has been a lot of external professionals involved in his care, who have required staff with great rapport to attend meetings and provide input. The level of care and support Fortune has shown throughout this really definitely needs recognising!
Gracie Boci brought the fun to Gotts Park at the Willy Wonka Street Party!

Amy has organised Gledholt Mews’ first ever Staff Wellness Day which has turned out to be a massive hit! From discussions on self-care, development, kindness and inclusion to reiki and hand massages! It has been an extraordinary day enjoyed by all. Thank you Amy, you’ve smashed it!! X
I would like to nominate Virginia for her support with an event for staff at the Mews. Virginia offered to support the day with hand massages for members of the team. Initially this was a morning only session, due to the demand she extended it to the full day. She went above and beyond to support members of the team with her relaxation session.

Ibbs has recently worked really hard on our new garden project without having to be asked, spending four hours away cleaning bush and tree debris to make an area for our chickens. His help is really appreciated.
We recently did a PBS Brief Preference Assessment with support workers which asked staff to think about the attributes that help support residents. Chiemena’s name came up frequently as someone who has great rapport with some very vulnerable people we support. He has taken time to gain trust which can be seen in how individuals engage with him.
Dawn has been a breath of fresh air at the Lodge; her communication is second-to-none, whether to challenge her colleagues restrictive practice or support a patient in crisis. Dawn always advocates for patient rights and will make sure their voices are heard through hers. Not only this, Dawn is kind-hearted and great fun to work with!
Norm goes above and beyond to support both the staff and service users at Clifton. Due to the warmer weather, the office has been getting very hot. Norm sourced us an air conditioning unit, and created a Perspex screen to cover the window preventing the hot air (and wasps!) coming through. Norm does everything quickly, and with a smile! Thank you!
