🌟GEM Award Winner - David 🌟

Massive congratulations to David, our latest GEM Award winner!💙

Since joining in October, David has made a huge impact in his service, building trust, boosting confidence and supporting people to become more independent.

Known as "Dave the Rave" 🎉, his energy, teamwork and dedication never go unnoticed. Always stepping up, supporting others and leading by example.

Very well deserved 👏

We are delighted to share some wonderful news about one of the people we support 🌟

Alec has been settling in remarkably well and is thriving with lots of active support and fulfilling lifestyle. From exciting days out to the Warner Brothers studio to visit Harry Potter, to joining a weekly social club. He is really enjoying his new active social life and new staff team.

What makes this special is that he hasn't been able to socialise since the start of the pandemic in 2020 due to health conditions. So seeing him reconnect with the world and build a vibrant social life has been truly amazing 💙

🌱 A huge congratulations to Stephen, Carl and Mike! 🎉

These three have put in incredible effort this season, clearing their growing areas, refreshing the soil and getting seeds planted in their brand new greenhouse, all in preparation for spring. 🌿🥕

Their passion for growing their own fresh vegetables and turning them into delicious home-cooked meals is truly amazing, and their hard work didn't go unnoticed

Yesterday, Encircle Housing recognised their fantastic achievements by awarding them a voucher 🏆👏

We cannot wait to see what this season brings for them! 🌻

Yesterday, we had the please of attending the "Future Ready" events at Chester Zoo, bringing together employers, educators and students from across Cheshire and Warrington.

It was a fantastic opportunity to meet students, speak with them about different career pathways and share insight into the skills and experiences that can help them succeed in the workplace. It was also great to connect with other employers and educators who are all working towards supporting the next generation 💙
