Our September Highlights
September has been a wonderfully busy month for us at Right at Home Bridgend and the Vale!

Firewalk
Things were kicked off when our Managing Director Joe Guishard headed up to Carden Park in Cheshire to join the annual Right at Home UK’s conference and partake in a charity firewalk for Dementia Adventure.
More than 30 people from Right at Home staff across the country fundraised money for Dementia Adventure in return for taking part in a daring firewalk. Dementia Adventure is Right at Home’s partner charity and aims to help people with dementia and their carers to enjoy the outdoors.
Before stepping onto the coals, the walkers took part in a briefing and preparation session with the fire walk instructors, then crossed the fire path barefoot as colleagues cheered them on. There were definitely a few nerves beforehand, but once those first steps had been taken and the adrenaline kicked in and it became an incredible experience.

Celebration Awards
Following the firewalk, the conference held their annual awards, in which Joe took home the 'Annual Multi Sales Territory of the Year' award last week at the Right at Home Awards for the Cardiff & Newport and Bridgend & Vale of Glamorgan offices!
This recognition reflects the hard work of our teams across both businesses. Every person who helps us welcome new clients, support our CareGivers and deliver care in our communities has played a part.
Joe said 'For me, this award isn’t really about a number or a sales target. It represents the people I’ve had the privilege of meeting, the families who have trusted me, and the difference that we’ve been able to make in people’s everyday lives.'

Macmillan Coffee Morning
Thank you to everyone who came to our Macmillan Coffee Morning and helped us fundraise! We had a lovely morning sharing a cuppa, a cake and a chat with you! It was a great opportunity for us to touch base with our Carers and Clients.

ITV News
The month was wrapped up with our appearance on ITV News, where Holly and Rebecca talked about how fuel costs are having an impact on our Carers and the care industry.
Being able to drive from Client to Client is a huge part of our Carer's roles, and Right at Home has long called for practical support with Care Professionals’ travel costs, sustainable social care funding, and greater recognition of skilled care work.
