Let’s celebrate two special occasions today!

First, a very happy birthday to our wonderful Anne! We hope you have a fantastic day filled with joy 🎉

Secondly, a huge congratulations to Laura on her five-year work anniversary! Laura joined us five years ago as a part-time carer and has grown through several roles since then. From Recruitment Lead to Service Manager, and now Deputy Registered Manager, she has become an incredible and valued member of our team. Thank you, Laura, for all your hard work and dedication! 💐👏

Today is World Braille Day.
World Braille Day, marked on 4 January, highlights the importance of accessible communication and inclusion for people with visual impairments.
In care, understanding and supporting different communication needs is essential. It helps promote independence, dignity, and equality for the people we support.
Today is a reminder that we all play a part in ensuring individuals feel informed, empowered, and respected in their daily lives. By embracing accessible communication, we create a more inclusive and supportive community for everyone.

Today we’re celebrating Collette and her second work anniversary at Care & Carers.

Coming from a non-care background, Collette stepped into a complex sector with curiosity, openness, and determination. In a short space of time, care didn’t just become something she worked in. It became something she truly cares about.

Her growth into the RM role, the relationships she’s built, and the passion she brings to supporting our clients every day is making a real difference in our community.

Congratulations on two years of passionate work, Collette. We’re very glad to have you on this journey with us. ,

Happy New Year from everyone at Care and Carers! We want to thank our incredible carers for their dedication, kindness and hard work throughout the year, and to the people we support for the trust, warmth and joy they bring to every visit. We wish you all a safe, happy and fulfilling year.

Before we step into a brand new year, we want to pause and reflect on what has been an incredible chapter for Care and Carers.

This year has been one of growth, learning and real pride in what we have built together.

Over the past year, we have seen important role developments within our leadership and coordination team. Laura has been promoted into the role of Deputy Registered Manager, Collette has stepped into the Registered Manager role, and Kelly has been promoted to Care Co Ordinator. These changes reflect not only individual progression, but the strength of our wider team, where learning, trust and mutual support sit at the heart of everything we do.

We are incredibly proud to have been recognised as finalists with Bucks Business First in the Net Zero category, a milestone that reflects the dedication, professionalism and compassion shown by our whole team.

This year also saw us take meaningful steps towards a more sustainable future through our eco initiative, making thoughtful changes that reflect our responsibility not just to the people we support, but to the wider world too.

We have also taken important steps forward through TDDI, helping us strengthen our understanding of disease and disorder and build clear plans to safely support more complex needs as we move into 2026.

Behind the scenes, we have also been laying important foundations. Throughout this year we have been creating clear, thoughtful plans for complex care, which we are excited to begin launching in 2026. This next step reflects our commitment to meeting more complex needs while maintaining the highest standards of personalised, person centred support.

As we move into 2026, we do so with a fresh mindset, renewed energy and an even stronger focus on person centred practice than ever before. We are excited for what lies ahead, but we are equally grateful for what has brought us here.

Most importantly, we want to say a heartfelt thank you.

To the people we support, thank you for trusting us to be part of your lives.
To families and loved ones, thank you for your partnership, openness and support.
To our carers and wider team, thank you for your dedication, compassion and commitment. Everything we achieve is only possible because of you.

Here’s to growth, learning and continuing to care with heart in 2026.

Boxing Day at Care & Carers

Today is often quieter. A pause between the celebrations and the return to routine.

For many people, Boxing Day is about rest, recovery and familiarity. Our carers continue to support those moments quietly, helping people feel comfortable, safe and settled in their own homes.

Whether today is a day of rest, reflection or gentle routine, we remain here doing what we do best. Providing consistent, compassionate care that supports independence and dignity.

Wishing everyone a calm and peaceful Boxing Day from all of us at Care and Carers.

Christmas Day at Care and Carers 🎄

Today is about quiet moments, familiar routines and being there when it matters most.

While many homes are filled with celebration, our carers are continuing to support people with the same care, respect and reassurance they provide every day. For those receiving care today, it means comfort, consistency and knowing someone trusted is there.

Christmas Day may look different for everyone, but our commitment remains the same. To support people in their own homes, in their own way, with dignity and compassion.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas from all of us at Care and Carers.

Christmas Eve at Care and Carers

As Christmas Eve arrives, we want to take a quiet moment to say thank you.

To our carers who are out working today and over the festive period, your kindness, dedication and compassion do not go unnoticed. You are supporting people at a time when comfort, familiarity and reassurance matter most.

To the families and loved ones we support, thank you for trusting us to be part of your lives. It is a privilege to care alongside you.

Whether today is busy, calm, joyful or reflective, we are thinking of you all and sending warmth from everyone at Care and Carers.

✨ Care and Carers Awards Celebration ✨

We are so proud to celebrate our Carers of the Year, Kudzai and Kinga, and our Office Employee of the Year, Kelly 💙

Kudzai and Kinga bring compassion, reliability, and genuine kindness into every home they visit. They go above and beyond every single day, not because they have to, but because they truly care. The difference they make to the people we support and to their colleagues does not go unnoticed.

Kelly is the calm in the chaos, the problem solver, and the person who always has time to help. Behind the scenes, she keeps everything moving with dedication, patience, and a great sense of humour. Our care would not run as smoothly without her.

These awards are about more than hard work. They are about heart, teamwork, and showing up for others day in and day out. We are incredibly lucky to have all three of you as part of the Care and Carers family.

Please join us in giving them a huge congratulations 👏💙

⭐Steps Challenge | 12 September – 12 December ⭐
What We Achieved Together

Over the past three months, our team took on the Steps Challenge with energy, consistency, and a shared commitment to well-being and sustainability. The collective effort across both teams has been genuinely impressive.

Total distance covered: 16,533 km 💪

To put that into perspective:

• 41% of the way around the world
Earth’s circumference is approximately 40,075 km. Together, we walked nearly halfway around the globe.

• Across continents
That’s equivalent to walking from London to Cape Town and continuing on to Mumbai, or almost twice the distance from New York to Buenos Aires.

• An epic road trip
The same as travelling from London to Rome more than 18 times.

• Steps taken together
Approximately 21–22 million steps as a collective effort.

• Energy and impact
An estimated 8–9 million calories burned across the team.

More than just numbers, this challenge reflects teamwork, consistency, and a shared drive to support healthier habits and positive environmental impact. Thank you to everyone who took part and contributed - every step truly counted. 🔥
