Celebrating St Georges’ Volunteers

Celebrating Volunteers at St Georges

To mark Volunteers’ Week St Georges started the week off celebrating and recognising the contribution of the home’s wonderful volunteers.

 

Volunteering is so important to St Georges, the volunteers enrich residents’ lives, whether it is bringing a smile to someone’s face, a good old chat, making a cup of tea or just generally being a familiar face, it is hugely appreciated on a daily basis.

Thank You

To show St Georges’ appreciation the home’s volunteers were invited to join residents to treat them to coffee and cake.  What a lovely time everyone had relaxing in great company.

 

Everyone at St Georges would like to give a massive shout out to the volunteers Jayne, Diane, Carolina and Anna for their invaluable efforts and dedication to St Georges.

Thank You

Catherine
Sales Manager

Catherine has worked in sales and marketing her whole career, after graduating with a degree in Textile Management she worked in Corporate Workwear for many years. Catherine’s first role in the care sector was working with a disability charity that ran nursing homes and enablement projects for young adults.

Catherine

While her two children were younger, she joined her husband in his estate agency, but was delighted to return to the care sector in 2020 and now cannot imagine doing anything else.

Catherine’s role with Allegra is to support residents and their families as they explore care options. Working with the teams in the individual homes she ensures that during every stage from initial enquiry through to moving in with us every question is answered, and we offer the reassurance needed for the next chapter in our resident’s life. It is important for our residents to remain part of the community in which will have lived for years, often all their lives, so the other part of this role is connecting with local community groups, charities and organisations.

Catherine has said that working for Allegra with their groundbreaking household model means we are offering a home with compassion and care whilst ensuring residents are retaining their independence and quality of life.

Out of work Catherine enjoys baking and gardening The children are older now, but still keep her busy!
