Perkbox & Perkbox Medical
We launched Perkbox for our staff in August 2018, providing staff with various benefits and discounts. It has been an effective way of rewarding outstanding work. Perkbox Medical was also introduced on 4th December, allowing users to have access to a fully qualified GP at any time.

New Changes to the Team
It's also been a year full of changes to the people working in the Manor office, with some brilliant new people joining the team and others moving on to new pastures.
New faces include: Greg, marketing apprentice; Tobias, project co-ordinator; Arnie, business support assistant and Tanya, HR Administrator, as well as a host of lovely new carers.

Our wonderful trainer Cindy has also moved on to fulfil her lifelong dream of owning a nursery.

Expanding our service

We have also been working on expanding our service this year, and the plan is already in action with a new supportive living unit purchased and ready to launch in early 2019, so watch this space!

First Cruise

For the first time some of the people we support in our residential care home went on their first cruise! This was thanks to the amazing efforts of staff and the home manager Debbie who worked really hard to acquire people’s first passport, multiple mental capacity assessments/conversations with families and professionals. It’s great to see dreams come true!
