Marie Curie UK Big Quiz and Coffee Morning

Marie Curie Coffee

St Georges Fundraise for Marie Curie UK

What a fantastic morning it was at St Georges with the Marie Curie UK Big Summer Quiz and Coffee Morning. The residents created a beautiful display for the event and the activities team decorated the cafe with a yellow and blue theme.

Big Quiz!

The cafe was packed with residents, family and friends coming together to enjoy company, home-made cakes and take part in the quiz. A great selection of questions and the residents’ knowledge was as diverse as the questions!

 

Thank you to the hospitality team for a delicious selection of cakes and thank you to all who attended and donated, a fabulous £37 was raised for this wonderful charity that supports those living with a life limiting illness.

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!
