Godfrey Care recently came together for our annual Managers Forum – always an important and enjoyable day in our calendar!

The event was a valuable opportunity to reflect on our achievements in 2025 and align on our strategy and priorities for 2026. Alongside the planning and reflection, we enjoyed lunch together, exchanged Secret Santa gifts, and took part in some friendly competition with team challenges, including Jenga and Marshmallow-and-Spaghetti tower building!

Everyone embraced the festive spirit, with a wide array of seasonal outfits on show – and an elf even taking time out from her Lapland duties to oversee proceedings!

A big thank you to everyone involved in making it such a positive and productive day. We’re excited for what 2026 has in store!

There has been some decidedly soggy weather across the UK of late, but it hasn’t dampened spirits at Godfrey Care services! Field House and Ash Tree House in Burton-on-Trent ignored the downpours and organised some indoor fun for everyone to enjoy.

At Field House, there were sunny smiles all-round as the support team organised a special party for LOR’s 24th birthday, arranging a buffet and dressing the home with balloons and banners. Always a keen participant in away days and excursions, LOR is very popular at Field House. Friends from other local Godfrey Care services visited to join in the celebrations, enjoying party games and delicious food, including a mouth-watering cake shared by the birthday boy.

Meanwhile at Ash Tree House, the support team created a calm, cosy atmosphere with pampering sessions providing a morning of relaxation. The afternoon was spent getting creative in the kitchen as everyone got involved in developing cooking skills, trying new recipes and enjoying the satisfaction of working together to serve up some delicious dishes.

Rain or shine, there’s always plenty going on at Godfrey Care services!

We are incredibly proud to recognise the dedication of our teams who have played a vital role in the establishment of two residential care services opened by Godfrey Care over the past 18 months.

Pottery House in Stoke-on-Trent and Waverley House in Alfreton have been purpose-built to an enhanced specification and thoughtfully tailored to meet individual needs. The built environments are impressive, but it is the people who bring these services to life every day through their compassion, professionalism and teamwork.

As a token of our appreciation, the teams at Pottery House and Waverley House received gift hampers in recognition of their ongoing commitment to the people we support and for making these services such an outstanding success.

We also presented some gifts to Lorna Turner, Deputy Manager at our Dorset House service, as a special thank you for providing additional support to our Pine Bank service this month. Your willingness to go above and beyond is truly appreciated and perfectly reflects our commitment to building futures together.

Once again, our teams are demonstrating the power of collaboration and shared values in action.

Congratulations to our Godfrey Care Team Members of the Month!

Every month, we celebrate three colleagues who truly embody our core values: Innovative, Inclusive, and Resilient. Our Team Members of the Month are based on the nominations of their colleagues. This month’s winners have shown remarkable dedication and professionalism and we couldn’t be prouder to recognise them.

💡 Innovative – Aaron Bushell, PBS Clinical Practitioner

Aaron’s compassion, commitment and expertise shone through during a routine visit to Field House, a service where he started his career in care as a Support Worker. When it was explained that one of the people we support was in crisis, Aaron used his knowledge of the individual and the service to demonstrate how a calm, low-stimulus approach could make a positive difference. He was scheduled to visit for one hour but stayed for four, providing insight, hands-on support, and guidance to the team. Thank you, Aaron, for going above and beyond.

🤝 Inclusive – Kudakwashe Museve & Yvonne Bah, Support Workers, Ash Tree House

A huge well done to Kuda and Yvonne, whose patience, encouragement, and unwavering support helped one of the people we support to achieve something extraordinary, remaining comfortably clothed and fully engaged for five hours, when normally only a few minutes is possible. Their teamwork and gentle persistence created a safe, positive environment to enable this breakthrough. This is truly inclusive practice at its best.

💪 Resilient – Ryan Casella, Support Worker, Field House

Ryan has made an incredible impression in just a few short weeks. Always helpful, upbeat, and deeply committed, he brings energy and positivity to life at Field House. His willingness to learn, his initiative, his kindness towards the people he supports and his colleagues, and his team-focused attitude make him an outstanding member of the Field House team. Thank you, Ryan, for your resilience and hard work.

Aaron, Kuda, Yvonne, and Ryan are shining examples of the values that define Godfrey Care. Thank you all for the incredible difference you make in building futures together.
