COUNTRY COURT SAYS ‘THANK YOU’ TO HARD-WORKING CARE STAFF AT LYNCROFT CARE HOME WITH GIFTS.
7th July 2020; Staff at Country Court’s Lyncroft Care Home in Wisbech received a ‘Thank You’ gift from the Kachra family, owners of the Country Court group this week. The company operates 32 care homes across the UK employing over 2000 staff, all of whom will receive the gifts as thanks for their continued work caring for some of the most vulnerable people in society.
Country Court CEO Alykhan Kachra said “Our staff have been amazing throughout this pandemic, putting our residents before themselves and their own families. Many have worked long hours and extra shifts, we felt they deserved a treat, and this would be a great way to say thank you and to acknowledge the sacrifices that people continue to make”.
At the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, the group delivered a ‘Care Package’ to every member of staff consisting of over 20 items including food, drink and basic provisions to help with day to day life whilst food and basic provisions were scarce. The latest gift package includes treats to enjoy at the end of a working day including Prosecco, Chocolate, Country Court Jellybeans, caramel shortbread and Shea Butter moisturising hand cream.
The thank you gifts have been very well received by the care home staff; Home Manager Brenda Durrington commented “We would like to say a huge thank you to the Kachra family for the lovely gifts, generosity and continued support. The pandemic has been challenging for everyone but here at Lyncroft we are very proud of all our staff and their continued hard work to keep our residents and each other safe.”
Chairman of Country Court, Abdul Kachra said “We want to thank every single member of staff in our care homes for their continued commitment. We hope that this token of our appreciation will be a nice treat that they can take home and enjoy at the end of a hard day’s work”.
The Country Court group operates 32 nursing and care homes which are working to support elderly people throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. Founded in 1983, it is a Family-run business to this day, with the company philosophy “Our family caring for yours” at the heart of every home.

15-YEAR-OLD CONNOR LOUGHLIN, FROM THOMAS CLARKSON ACADEMY IN WISBECH, IS RUNNING 500 MILES IN HIS SPARE TIME TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE NHS!
Usually, Connor swims in his spare time for his Wisbech Swim Club and completes Triathlons for PacTrac, Peterborough, as well as playing Rugby for West Norfolk Rugby Club. During the lockdown, Connor decided that he wanted to keep his fitness up, to allow him to get back to competing when the pandemic is over. “The inspiration that both Captain Thomas Moore and Mrs Margaret Payne has given me is immense, and if I can raise just a fraction of what they have, I will be delighted and overwhelmed.”
Connor is asking for support in his fundraising for the NHS and asks that you feel free to donate as much as you want, anything will help in this time of need. The NHS needs as much help as they can get. Only together can we get through this.
