Charity Bake Sale
Mar 25, 2026
Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer, Olivia Wood, did a fantastic job of organising a Mother’s Day brunch and bake sale recently, to raise money for Macmillan and a few other charities that Edward Mayes like to raise money for, including Francis House.
This was highly appreciated and enjoyed by our Client and residents at Mayes Gardens.
Samantha at Edward Mayes Trust said; “Olivia did you proud at the recent bake sale she arranged for our residents. She worked very hard and put in a lot of effort. Our residents enjoyed it and we raised nearly £300 for Francis House in donations, which is brilliant. So thank you to Olivia for her hard work in arranging everything.”
Well done Olivia!

All Clear

A big shout-out to Emanuel Whittaker Labourer, Chris Folan, lending a hand to one of our MCC residents.
Noticing that the weeds outside her front door had become a bit of a jungle, Chris jumped into action and cleared the area, making it much safer and more accessible.

Rubbish Removed
Sep 17, 2025
Tonge Court Resident, Lillian Smith, was off to the ground floor refuse room from her first floor flat with a couple of bags of waste.
Emanuel Whittaker Joiner, Ian Hall, collected them from her as he was heading in that direction and disposed of them on her behalf.
The ever-cheerful Lillian said thanks for saving her the trip, adding that Ian will make someone a good husband one day.

Washing away the worries
Sep 17, 2025
Tonge Court residents Kath Anglin & Pat Turner had previously purchased a small clothes spinner for all residents to use in the schemes communal laundry.
The ladies asked if we could dispose of the spinner, as it was no longer functional and long out of the guarantee period.
Emanuel Whittaker Joiner, Ian Hall, who is always happy to help, collected the item for recycling that same day, while both grateful ladies went about their laundry.
