'Staff Appreciation Week' is a yearly event and something the staff look forward to. It’s a chance for everyone to be celebrated and is always so much fun. This year, the homes celebrated the ‘OsCARES’: staff from the whole company were nominated by their managers for different Category Awards; I was lucky to receive the ‘Dedication Award’, winning a voucher of my choice. The 2023 Head Office theme was 'Stars in Our Eyes', and the effort on the office decorations alone were amazing! We were dazzled by helium balloons and decorations saying ‘Thank You’ - there was even a red carpet to walk down, it felt special! They didn’t stop there though; the kitchen had a huge basket of ‘Staff Appreciation Week Snacks’ full of goodies. We also received a gift which was nicely presented on our desks, individually cello-wrapped with lots of lovely things inside (including a Hollywood ‘Walk of Fame’ coaster with our own name on, sweets and hot chocolate sachets) – it was a lovely surprise! My favourite part was probably when we all played bingo – we linked up with our office in Fife and played via Teams – it was quite chaotic but so much fun.

I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to work with Holmes Care. I had been really putting some hours in due to a particular project I was working on, and it came as a total surprise to receive an enormous hamper from the Company, thanking me for my efforts. It took me by complete surprise and I was genuinely touched by the gesture, and for the continued support and collaboration that I receive working for Holmes Care.
