Meet the team
I have worked here for over 20 years but every day is different. Knowing I can make a difference in assisting my Tenants to remain safe and independent gives me the greatest satisfaction. Being part of a successful working team is the best.

Part of my role as deputy is to organise our many social activities. I enjoy seeing how happy our Tenants are at our social events and knowing I have helped alleviate their loneliness. I feel I have made a difference.
