The latest installment in our Green Plan journey is a spring volunteer litter pick in Bury. Our Green Ambassador, Carmen, organised the day with help from Kathy at Bury Council. The group met at Bury Interchange and walked all over the town centre to collect several bags of litter. They were cheered on by members of the public and finished with a well earned lunch. Thank you to everyone who took part! alt text: images of two women holding litter pickers and bin bags and smiling to camera.

We've opened up our High Five employee recognition scheme so that anyone external to Persona who would like to show their appreciation can do so. Each month a panel of people we support and managers choose winners out of all the High Fives received this month, who each get a gift they can choose themselves. Congratulations to everyone who got a High Five this month and especially to our Living the Values Recognition winners!

Did you know that people in Bury can self refer, or refer someone they know, to intermediate care (IMC) or to Elmhurst via our website? This article explains more https://lnkd.in/ek8CbCzt Jim stayed with us for IMC at Elmhurst and his wife had these words for the staff who looked after him: Thank you to everyone who helped to look after my husband during his stay at Elmhurst. He has been very content and happy during his time in your care and this has given us peace of mind. Doris. #compliment #feedback #IntermediateCare #ShortStay

Are you a community group or organisation who needs a space in Bury? Social Spaces is your opportunity to use our buildings for free and to give something back to the community.

Are you under 25 and caring for a family member in Bury, or do you know someone who is? The Carers Trust is campaigning to give young carers a break this #YoungCarersActionDay and we can help with that. We have short stay options (sometimes called respite) for family members to stay with us or with another family for a night or two, or even longer. Shared Lives places people in their carer's home and they are matched with people who share their beliefs and interests. Elmhurst also provides short stay, either for a break or to help people recover after illness or a hospital stay on our intermediate care (IMC) unit. Learn more about both here: https://lnkd.in/ebg4W49V Please share this post with your network if you think it will help a young carer to get a break. #GiveMeABreak #BetterShared

Last month our colleagues at Grundy Hub had a visit from Training 2 Care UK, where a simulator gives people with a healthy brain the chance to experience what it's like to live with dementia. One person commented: '(it was) a massive eye opener and a small snippet into the world of a person living with dementia'. Read more comments on the link below. We're always looking for new ways to improve how we support people in Bury. At Grundy Hub Get Social we - provide specialist dementia care - offer a bathing service - welcome people over 50 to meet people and try new things and we offer free taster sessions too. https://lnkd.in/egMjwinW
