Thank you! In February one of our staff members kindly donated two new vacuum cleaners to South West Community Care. Each year, this Support Worker finds a positive way to honour the memory of her deceased family member. This year the Support worker had noted several of our clients were not as fortunate as others and did not have the luxury of a vacuum cleaner. She asked that we identify two clients who would most benefit from this gift. Pictured is a very excited Lindsay Crammond receiving his vacuum cleaner from Team Leader Stella Wallace.
