Today, I had the absolute pleasure of attending a Halloween party at one of our Southend services. I was joined by our Registered Manager from Focus Home Care - Aaron Steele. Alison (Team Leader), and Nicolas (Area Manager) and the Shoebury staff team truly outdid themselves in organizing this incredible event. Both of these amazing managers were up at the crack of dawn, baking pumpkin pies and preparing a delightful spread that was simply to die for! We were joined by other service users staff and team leaders from the area, and together we enjoyed a fantastic game where we had to solve clues to discover who stole the pumpkin. I’m pleased to say all of us guessed correctly ! Amazing team work! The experience was nothing short of magical, with lots of smiles, laughter, and fun all around. The home was decked out in Halloween decorations, creating a wonderfully spooky atmosphere. The impact on the people we support was profound. Seeing them engaged, happy, and sharing in the festive spirit was incredibly rewarding. These moments of connection and joy are what make our work so meaningful. I left the event grinning from ear to ear, immensely proud of our team. They consistently go above and beyond to ensure the people we support are at the heart of everything they do. It was a day filled with joy and a true testament to our team's dedication and creativity. 🎃👻🎉 Thank you Team Shoebury !!!
