Rad Relocated

May 25, 2022

During a kitchen upgrade at MSV resident Andrew Roberts’ home, the Emanuel Whittaker team noticed that the hall radiator was restricting his access with his wheelchair.

So the team relocated the radiator, making it easier for him to get around his bungalow.

Andrew was very grateful.

Mental Health Awareness Week 2022

May 11, 2022

 

Mental Health Awareness Week 2022

This is Mental Health Awareness Week, and this years’ theme is ‘loneliness’. Throughout the week Mental Health UK are encouraging us all to build meaningful connections with our friends, family, colleagues and communities.  Emanuel Whittaker FRA Site Supervisor, Adam Berry is a strong advocate of mental health support, and together with friends Suzette Carlyle-Thorley and Helen Somerville, they’ve come up with a novel plan to get the message across.

A published author of ‘Soul Rise, Soul Expressions’, Adam was inspired to write ‘Loneliness’ to commemorate Mental Health Awareness Week. Adam, Suzette and Helen reached out to friends, family and colleagues, and were overwhelmed by the demonstrations of support. Together with the support of Paralympian Sir Lee Pearson CBE, and Oscar nominated Animator/Director Barry Jonathan Crabtree Purves, and 20+ of their family and friends, they have brought ‘Loneliness’ to life.

Adam explained: “I hope that this poem will encourage those experiencing mental health issues and loneliness to connect during Mental Health Awareness Week, and realise that they are not alone… there are so many of us willing to offer a kind and helpful hand.”

Boxed off…

Edward Grant Court Scheme Manager, Wendy Theaker, purchased an outdoor storage unit, but was struggling to find someone to put it together for her.

Emanuel Whittaker Joiners, Megan Boygle and Andrew Winsindale, kindly offered to put it together for her at the end of their working day.

Wendy was very grateful.

Key to success

Nov 24, 2021

Oakridge Walk Resident, Mr Smith, was unable to leave his flat due to a broken door. So Emanuel Whittaker prioritised his order for a new door and it is now fitted.

Both Mr Smith and his Mum, Pat Smith, are over the moon with the new door, especially as it keeps the flat nice and warm.

Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer, Sarah Kershaw, went the extra mile and bought Mr Smith a new door mat, key cupboard and key fobs for his new keys. Emanuel Whittaker Joiner, Megan Boygle, kindly fitted the new key cupboard for Mr Smith.

Driveway Dilemma

Nov 24, 2021

Church Manor resident, Brian Fern has been experiencing problems accessing his driveway due to some tight kerbstones, which have been damaging his tyres.  So he called upon Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer, Ryan Whittaker, to see if we could help…

Ryan was happy to be of service, and enlisted the help of Emanuel Whittaker Ground Worker, James Honey. He removed some of the kerbing from around Brian’s driveway, and made good with some block paving.

Brian was over the moon with the fix!
