Our colleagues at Blakeney House got their party hats on this month to celebrate their 20th birthday in style.
Colleagues past and present, people we support, friends and family all gathered to mark the occasion and enjoy the festivities – complete with live music from a local band, a delicious buffet full of burgers, curries and an ice cream parlour, and a lot of smiles all round.
Amanda has been the manager of Blakeney House since 2005 so was also celebrating her 20th year with Consensus and was surprised with presents and cards from her team (there may have been some happy tears). She said, “I’ve been here two decades, and many of the people that live and work here have been here almost that long too. I think that’s part of the reason this home feels so special – we’ve grown together, learned together, and developed a place entirely around our people. The deputy and team leaders were all support workers here first, and they all share the same vision for what we want to be. I’m so proud.”
Thank you to our amazing team, and a special shout out to party-planner extraordinaire Lisa who planned, decorated and cooked up a storm to make the day a roaring success.
