Three social care organisations were delighted to attend a very special Jubilee Garden Party at Buckingham Palace last week.
The lucky attendees were offered an exclusive spot at the special celebration having been nominated by ÁÕÀÅÊÓƵ in honour of their dedicated work across the social care sector.
The three organisations who attended were Priscilla Wakefield House Nursing ÁÕÀÅÊÓƵ, Active Social Care Ltd, and Leicestershire County Council. Each organisation had a representative of the organisation attend, along with a guest.
Royal Garden Parties are intended to recognise individuals who have a positive impact on their community and these social care workers were invited to represent their organisations in recognition of the important work they’re doing to provide care and support to our communities.
Following the event, Prisca Odunmbaku, Lead Practitioner/Principal Social Worker, Leicestershire County Council said:
I was picked from the crowd to meet a member of the royal family - the Duchess of Gloucester. Prior to meeting her, the gentleman that picked me from the crowd, took my details and asked why I was there, and I happily advised that I was representing ÁÕÀÅÊÓƵ and Leicestershire County Council by extension.
Karen Pogson, Registered Manager, Active Social Care Ltd, said:
We had a fabulous time. We shook hands with both Will and Kate and sat casually in the garden listening to the band, enjoying the buffet, and chatting to the other guests. It was so relaxed and welcoming.
Sue Ann Nnamani, Registered General Manager, Priscilla Wakefield House Nursing ÁÕÀÅÊÓƵ said:
Being invited to the Queens Garden Party was an honour and privilege and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Congratulations to all attendees on being nominated.
