One of our lovely homes organised a bake sale and raised £300 for Comic Relief. All our homes got involved and everyone had a fantastic time enjoying the baked goods while supporting a fantastic cause. Well done to Mill House!
January Training Induction! We have had one of our first internal First Aid training courses, conducted by one of our wonderful Manager’s Chloe Kenyon. Please see the pictures captured of our soon to start employee’s learning and engaging in important first aid training and practicing the relevant exercises to provide safe First Aid in the future.
Russell Wall is our First Winner, please read below his paragraph for why he deserved this win. Russ has been an absolutely huge part in Leveret House’s recent OFSTED inspection results. He has gone from strength to strength. If things need doing, he is the first to get stuck in, or support with encouraging and guiding the team. Russ was mentioned by our OFSTED inspector during the inspection because of how highly both young people had spoken of him and how much they trusted him. He was checking in during our inspection, eager to know how we were getting on and I could hear the joy in his voice at the judgement. He picked up an extra shift over the bank holiday to make sure that our Young Person had a good holiday and did things that he didn’t really want to do to make that happen. Well done and Congratulations Russ!
We as a company have just had our Summer BBQ, whilst raising money for Derian House. We had a lovely afternoon of eating tasty burgers and sausage along with face painting and limbo while listening to music and playing connect four, by the end of the afternoon we managed to raise in total £526 for Derian House. We would like to say a BIG thank to our Young People and our staff and their family and friends who came and supported this charity and a big thank you to everyone who contributed to helping set this up and we hope you all enjoyed yourselves.
