For Esi, living with cerebral palsy involves more than managing physical challenges - it also means confronting the stigma and misconceptions that often surround disability.

Watch as Esi shares the impact of comments, how they shape feelings, and a powerful reminder for us all 💜

When it comes to supporting a loved one, feeling truly listened to makes all the difference.

We’re so grateful for this review from Timothy, who has experienced first-hand the compassion and dedication of both our office and care teams.

Every visit, every conversation, and every thoughtful moment matters and we’re proud to be there for families when they need us most. 💜

Huseyin, a dedicated member of our Live-in Care Team, shared what a day in his role looks like - a true example of compassionate, person-centred care.

“My day is structured around the needs, preferences, and routines of each individual I care for.”

Person-centred care means putting the individual at the heart of everything we do - respecting their choices, routines, and values. It’s about supporting people to live well, with independence in the comfort of their own homes.

"My role involves various aspects, such as personal care, medication management, meal preparation, companionship, household tasks, communication, and any specialised care that I provide."

This kind of work takes empathy, patience, and heart, and we're proud to have carers like Huseyin who embody this every day. 💜

Looking forward, with pride and purpose 💜

Following her recent Outstanding Contribution Award at the HealthInvestor Awards, we caught up with our Chair, Jane Ashcroft, to reflect on the moment and look ahead.

From a night celebrating excellence in care, Jane shares what the award means to her, the people behind it, and her hopes for the future of home care.

“John's visit... keeps me smiling all day”

At Helping Hands, we love celebrating the incredible people who make a real difference every day. Today, we’re proud to share Adyanna’s story - one of passion, purpose, and a genuine commitment to person-centered care.

“Growing up, care was always part of my world. My Nana was a carer for the council, and my mum has worked in care for over a decade. Watching their dedication left a lasting impression on me. I started working in care just before turning 17, alongside my mum while still in college, and I haven’t looked back since.”

Adyanna joined Helping Hands in March 2024 at just 19 years old and has been making an incredible impact ever since.

“What I enjoy most is getting to know each client’s routine and personal preferences. There’s something incredibly meaningful about being able to brighten someone’s day - even more so knowing that we might be the only friendly face they see. That motivates me to always deliver the highest standard of person-centered care. Helping Hands is a fantastic company for people who genuinely care about making a difference and creating positive moments in others’ lives.”

We’re proud to have carers like Adyanna on our team - people who bring heart, dedication, and positivity to every shift 💜

Fostering a culture of inclusion, engagement, and wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do, and this week, our Support Office team brought that spirit to life with one of our wellbeing walks around Alcester.

This activity is an important part of helping our team stay connected, support one another, and reinforce the community spirit at the heart of everything we do.

It was a lovely moment to step away from our desks, enjoy the fresh air, chat with colleagues, and spend a moment in the heart of the community we’re proud to serve 💜

When families reach out to us, it's often during some of the most challenging moments in their lives. That’s why compassion, clear communication, and a willingness to find solutions matter so much.

We were proud to receive this 5-star review from a customer who experienced just that with Lisa, one of our dedicated care consultants. Their words speak volumes about the care, coordination, and trust we strive to deliver every day:

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

"Lisa the consultant who took my call was exceptionally helpful and understanding of the difficult personal situation I was facing with my parent's deteriorating health as well as the complex situation of where they were and where they would soon be living, are far apart and would involve many different branches. Everything was, no problem, she organised everything thinking about every detail and finding solutions. The service is breathtaking along with the flexibility and co-ordination between branches to act together."

Thank you for trusting us. 💜

“In your heart you feel like, I’ve done a good job today”

Meet Margot, one of our incredible carers, as we take a glimpse into her day. Filled with care, kindness, and connection, from her first visit to her last, she brings warmth, patience, and a genuine love for what she does.

It’s the small moments, the shared laughter, and the understanding that make all the difference 💜

Thank you for all that you do, Margot.
