💧 Hydration‑Themed Relatives & Friends Meeting – Update 💧
We’d like to share an update from our recent Hydration‑Themed Relatives & Friends Meeting for those who were unable to attend.
The evening went ahead as planned and, while we were disappointed with the low turnout, particularly given the significant time, planning, and effort that went into organising the event, we were very grateful to the families who did attend. Thank you to those who came along — your time, engagement, and feedback were truly appreciated.
A great deal of care was taken to make the evening welcoming and enjoyable, with a wide range of hydration‑themed refreshments including milkshakes, mocktails, fruit kebabs, crudités, home baking, and a buffet. Those in attendance commented positively on the effort involved and thoroughly enjoyed sampling the different drinks and refreshments, which helped bring our hydration theme to life.
We also shared updates on our renovation works, including viewing mood boards for each area. Families were impressed with the plans and reassured by the improvements already being seen.
There was positive discussion around future events, with families expressing interest in both a Summer Fete and a Christmas Fete. We are pleased to confirm that these events are already part of the planning process.
The evening concluded with information and a demonstration of PainChek, our new pain assessment technology. Feedback on this was very positive, with families valuing the benefits this brings to comfort and wellbeing.
Despite the smaller numbers, feedback from those who attended was extremely encouraging, and families expressed that they would welcome regular relatives’ meetings going forward.
👉 To help improve attendance in the future, we will shortly be sharing a poll to ask for your views on the most suitable day and time for these meetings. We really value your input and hope this will allow more families to attend next time.
Thank you for your continued support 💙
