It’s been an amazing week for us all at Jaffray Care. It certainly was “the week that was” and will be remembered for a long time to come.
Wednesday 13th July 2016Our wonderful staff trio of Wayne Hardiman, Di Cash and Mike Malone attended the ROSPA black tie awards ceremony at the Metropole Hotel in Birmingham where they were presented with the Silver Award. Always determined to be at the top of the Health and Safety ladder Jaffray Care put in a strong entry and was rewarded accordingly. Thanks to all
The “Oscar Night “of the Learning Disability and Autism field.

With over 1000 people from all over the UK attending this Black tie, gala event, Jaffray Care were again for the second year running named Employer of the Year 2016. It is the first time any Charity has won an award twice in a row and is a reflection of our determination to ensure we train, mentor, coach and reward our staff.
Colleen Hamilton also sung a wonderful rendition of Three little Birds as part of the Ebrook Choir.
The end of the night saw the final award for “Outstanding Contribution” announced and presented by TV personality Christopher Biggins. It was presented to our very own Chief Executive Lee Hendon!
