New Year’s Message—Incoming CEO Welcome to 2021 My name is Jo Saunders and I have worked with South West Community Care for just over three years in various roles. As incoming CEO, I have been given this great opportunity with our team of inspiring employees to continue to support you, our consumers, to live a fulfilled and happy life at home. I would like to acknowledge the dedication and commitment of Claire Roach, our outgoing CEO, who has led South West Community Care for the last 16 years and wish her all the best for her future. Reflecting on 2020, it certainly was a challenging one, impacting us all differently. While there are no guarantees of what 2021 will bring, South West Community Care will continue to be here to help you through the new year ahead. Happy New Year!
