Keep the flame alive for our
Olympic torch hopefuls!
CIC are proud to support not one, but two potential London 2012 Olympic Flame Torchbearers. Iain McDonald, from Station Court in Scotland and Keith Cookson, student at the Rievaulx Centre in Cleveland, have both been nominated to carry the Olympic torch when it arrives in the UK next Spring. Look out for the next edition of You First to see how they got on. Good luck guys!
Congratulations to St Catherine’s Care Home in Cheshire who were awarded the silver award in the prestigious Nantwich in Bloom Flower Show, for the second year running.
THE BIG HEALTH DAY
CIC will soon be taking part in West Sussex’s Big Health Day. The event, organised by the local PCT Trust and County Council, for people with learning difficulties, their families, carers and supporters, will include lots of workshops, presentations and group discussions, as well as a ‘market-place’ style session where care providers, such as CIC, can inform service users and their families about the different types of care and support on offer.
The Big Heath Day takes places between 9am-4pm on 9th December at Martletts Hall, Burgess Hill, West Sussex. CIC’s Southern Region are still looking for willing volunteers to help out on the day so if you want to get involved, contact Jo Hallt at CIC's Portsmouth office.
To mark National Dementia Awareness Day in September, the Everystep team in Manchester held a special event, inviting members of their local community to come along and learn more about the condition, as well as CIC’s new £5 million dementia service, opening next Spring.
Congratulations to the following CIC staff who have welcomed new arrivals:
Lee Cunliffe, support worker at Winsford Grange care home and baby boy Riley.
Vicky Hannigan, qualifications administrator and baby girl Ciara.
Kate Bradshaw, HR assistant and baby boy Noah.
