🌍✨ HUMAN RIGHTS DAY – LET’S TALK! ✨🌍
At Essential Care and Support, human rights are at the heart of everything we do — dignity, choice, independence, inclusion and respect for every person we support.
Today, we want to celebrate Human Rights Day with you by starting an important (but simple!) conversation:
💬❓ What does “human rights” mean to YOU in everyday life?
It could be…
✔ Being listened to
✔ Feeling safe
✔ Having choices
✔ Being treated with kindness
✔ Being included
✔ Having your voice heard
Share your thoughts in the comments — there’s no right or wrong answer. 👇
We’d love to hear from colleagues, families, partners, and anyone who believes everyone deserves fairness, dignity and respect.
Let’s fill this post with positivity, awareness and shared values. 💛
Together, we can keep championing human rights for the people we support every day.

🎄 On the Second Day of Christmas 🎄

On the second day of Christmas,
Essential care gave to me—
Two helping hands,
And a place where every adult can live free.
In our supported living service,
We lift each other high,
With kindness in our footsteps
And respect that never runs dry.
We guide, we cheer, we listen,
Through moments big and small,
Empowering every adult we support
To stand proud, live strong, and walk tall.
So here’s to care that’s thoughtful,
And support that’s warm and true—
On the second day of Christmas,
We celebrate the work we do.

I’m a place that feels like home,
Where care and kindness always roam.
This Christmas season, joy is bright,
With laughter, warmth, and twinkling light.

Let’s see who can guess it first…
I’m not wrapped in paper or tied with a bow,
But I brighten your days more than you’ll ever know.
