Our Heart of Gold winner for last month was described as "a super girl with no nonsense" and "a lovely girl, thoughtful and always helping out".

Take a bow Francesca, who assists our Care Assistants in their duties. She is someone who they can always rely on, not least as she is always thinking ahead to what is needed.

Thank you for your contribution to the team Francesca, and enjoy spending your Heart of Gold vouchers!
