Congratulations to Lois Hagger, Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, who was recognised in the Trust's 'Glimpses of Brilliance' after being thanked by a local Hertfordshire school!

'Lois has a consistently helpful nature, with the ability to provide clear and valuable information and a cheerful, positive attitude that lights up any room. Always happy and smiling, she creates a warm and welcoming environment for everyone around her. In particular, she has shown exceptional dedication in supporting the younger pupils, playing a vital role in helping them develop their speech skills with patience and encouragement. Additionally, she works closely alongside the class team to assist with feeding and drinking, ensuring each child’s needs are met with care and attention. Throughout every stage of this journey, she has been a steadfast source of support and reassurances for both the students and her colleagues, demonstrating a true commitment to their growth and wellbeing.'
