Today we were absolutely touched when one of our lovely carers came in with thoughtful thank-you gifts for the office team 💝

It means so much to know that she has felt supported and cared for throughout her pregnancy. We truly believe that looking after our team is just as important as the incredible work they do every day.

Supporting each other through life’s big moments – both professionally and personally – is what makes our workplace so special.

Wishing her all the very best as she prepares for this exciting new chapter 👶✨

"Nothing is impossible." 💙 That's the motto for Taylor and his amazing family.

After caring for Taylor alone for over a year, his mother found peace of mind with Alcedo Care. Our 2:1 complex care team doesn't just manage his severe respiratory issues and medical needs (medication, peg feeds, suctioning); they enrich his life!

From taking Taylor to college to study music, which he absolutely loves, to helping him move forward and live his best life, our goal is to support the whole family. Now, Taylor's mum has the vital free time to see friends and bond with her other sons.

See how our compassionate, highly trained carers are making a difference in Taylor's life:

Meet Taylor, an inspirational young man whose story proves that with the right support, anything is possible. Living with a complex, rare disease that causes...

As the blessed month of Ramadan begins, we want to take a moment to recognise and sincerely thank you for the compassion, dedication, and strength you show every single day.

For those observing Ramadan while continuing to care for some of the most vulnerable members of our community, your commitment is especially meaningful. Fasting while offering patience, kindness, and professional care is no small task. Your service truly reflects the spirit of Ramadan — selflessness, empathy, and generosity of heart.

We also understand that this month can be physically and emotionally demanding. Please remember to be kind to yourselves, rest whenever possible, and reach out for support if you need it. Your wellbeing matters just as much as the care you provide to others.

May this Ramadan bring you peace, reflection, and spiritual renewal. May your efforts be rewarded, and may you always feel valued for the vital role you play in the lives of those you support.

Thank you for everything you do — during Ramadan and throughout the year.

🥞🔥 PANCAKE DAY AT HQ – BUT MAKE IT COMPLIANCE! 🔥🥞

When Steve Sinnott, Head of Compliance, starts flipping pancakes… you know it’s going to be by the book.

What we didn’t expect was a FULL HQ relay 😅

One toss…
Through the office…
Past the team…
Around the building…

And somehow… it lands perfectly back in Andy B’s frying pan – our MD keeping a close eye on quality control 👀👏

Just another day at Alcedo Care HQ 😂

🥞✨ HAPPY PANCAKE DAY FROM ALCEDO CARE! ✨🥞

This morning, our very own MD, Andy B and Steve – decided to show off their pancake-flipping skills at HQ…

What could possibly go wrong? 😏

Flip…
Spin…
Slight overconfidence…

And suddenly one rogue pancake launched itself into orbit 🚀

Next thing we know, it’s flying past Marketing, bouncing through Recruitment, nearly landing in Finance and causing absolute chaos on its tour of HQ!

Happy Pancake Day to all our amazing staff, clients and community!
We hope your flips are slightly more successful than ours 😄
