Year: 2013

An afternoon spent enjoying the sunshine in the grounds of one of our most picturesque care homes (possibly the most picturesque in the county), with plenty of food, laughter and friendly competitive games, including a sack race, egg and spoon race, and the slippery slope, rounded off with the traditional casting into the pool of the CEO – what more could anyone want?

Rather wet (but still smiling) our CEO, Stephen Knell, (who incidentally organised the whole thing with the aid of the senior management team) proceeded to hand out awards for long service to all our well deserving staff with the directors, Debbie Reiffer and Edwin Inayat, and then thanked all who attended and helped to set up the afternoon of fun.

Steve would like to extend a special thanks to all our company chefs, who put a lot of their own time into the event, and to the residents of Steepleton manor for “…putting up with us…” and in some cases coming out to join in the fun.

To round of the day Steve reminded everyone to “please remember it’s only a game, and to us you are, ALL of you, winners!”

The awards were presented at a ceremony organised by Partners in Care in Bournemouth, Dorset & Poole (PiCBDP), and were held on Wednesday 10th July 2013 in Wimborne, by Councillor Malcolm Birr.

Laura and Sandra were accompanied by the Director of Care at Home, Debbie Reiffer, who said; “It was a pleasure to accompany Laura and Sandra at the awards ceremony and to hear such positive and inspiring words from both Partners in Care, and their tutor, May Lan Jefford.

Both Laura and Sandra have embraced the challenges of this course whilst juggling work and home commitments. Having completed the course, they both said that they have found it to be very beneficial in their day-to-day work, and are looking forward to sharing their knowledge and experience with their colleagues, to the benefit of our clients. Well done Laura and Sandra.”
