🍽️ Cooking for One – Supporting Each Other Through Food

Last week, we hosted a special cooking demonstration for our bereavement group, inspired by conversations with members who shared how difficult it can be to cook for one after the loss of a loved one.

Many told us they’ve struggled with motivation, confidence, and finding meals that are both nourishing and affordable. Our session focused on simple, budget-friendly recipes that are easy to prepare — and we cooked together, shared stories, and even enjoyed a few laughs.

Grief affects every part of life, and sometimes the smallest acts — like preparing a meal — can feel overwhelming. But together, with support and shared understanding, we can help each other rediscover routines and moments of comfort.

After just under 25 years of dedicated service, we bid a fond farewell to Michael Knight as he begins his well-earned retirement.

Last week, we held a special retirement gathering to celebrate Mick’s incredible contribution to the company and to thank him for the loyalty, professionalism and warmth he brought to every role he held.

From all of us; the Directors, staff and all of the families you have looked after over the years — thank you, Mick. You’ll be greatly missed and always remembered as a valued part of the team.

Wishing you all the very best for the future!
