Throughout the whole pandemic our brilliant colleagues have been remarkable in their efforts in keeping the people we support and themselves safe.

The appropriate wearing of personal protective equipment (PPE) has been an essential part of every day for those working in services since the pandemic began and will need to continue going forward. This can at times be tough, but it is important that everyone continues to follow the guidance that is given.

As a way to say thank you to all our colleagues for wearing their PPE, particularly through the hot summer months, we have sent a small pack of goodies for everyone to enjoy. With skin cleansers. facial creams, spritzer sprays, soothing herbal teas and even some sweetie treats - we're hoping everyone can relax, stay cool and enjoy a little bit of me-time.

The special 'Keep Cool and Relax’ packs are arriving at all our services across the UK with a personal message of thanks and appreciation from James Allen, CEO and all the members of the National Care Group board.
