Today is a bittersweet day for Empowered.
As we continue on our ever-changing journey, we do so without one of the most integral parts of our support team. Today, we farewell Emily Rayson — our Em — and it is not something we do lightly.
For over five years, Em was a constant presence within these walls. Through the madness and the challenges, she was a steady strength — a beacon of light for staff and participants alike. She led with empathy, integrity, and genuine care, always putting the wellbeing of others first.
Em was deeply devoted to improving the lives of our participants and supporting the emotional wellbeing of our staff. She mentored, encouraged, and lifted others up, taking a real interest in people and their growth. Many of us would not be where we are today without her guidance and support.
Her humour, kindness, and zest for life will be deeply missed. The space she leaves behind is felt not just in our work, but in our hearts.
While this marks the end of a chapter, it is not the end of Em’s impact. Whatever she chooses to do next, we know she will own it.
Thank you, Em — for everything you gave, and for the legacy you leave behind. You will always be part of Empowered.
