💙 What Matters to You? – A Thursday morning to remember! 💙
We feel incredibly lucky as a service to have welcomed Tommy Whitelaw, National Lead Person Centred Voices, who took the time to visit our staff today and deliver a truly meaningful What Matters to You? workshop.
The workshop focused on the importance of meaningful conversations, centred around listening, understanding and kindness, reminding us all how much it matters to take the time to really hear one another.
Drawing on his own personal experience of caring for his mum, Joan, who lived with dementia, Tommy shared powerful reflections and moving stories that encouraged us to think about how we can better support not only the people we care for, but also each other as colleagues. 💙
There was a real mix of emotions throughout the morning, from tears and heartfelt moments to clapping, singing and even dancing! 🥹👏🎶💃 Definitely not your usual Thursday morning!
A huge thank you to Tommy for sharing his experiences so openly, inspiring our staff and reminding us why the little things – a conversation, a moment of kindness, or simply taking the time to listen – can make such a big difference.
We left feeling uplifted, reflective and reminded of what really matters. 💙
