Everyone across the team can agree that this has been a challenging year, but especially for the team members who work in our homes. So, the people working at our Support Office wanted to do their part to lift spirits in the homes to help spread some Christmas cheer at this special time of year.
During a surprise visit from the Grinch to Excelcare’s Support Office, Chief Operating Officer Sam Manning thought it would be nice for team members to record some fun videos to bring smiles to the faces of the people working in our homes. Each piece of content has been used for one of the ‘Excelcare 12 Days of Caring Christmas’: a daily countdown containing fun videos that have been sent around to all team members during the 12 days leading up to Christmas.
Everybody got stuck in, showing off their variety of special talents, from singing and dancing to telling some festive themed jokes! There were laughs and smiles as people gave it their all, in an effort to brighten the days of anyone who watched.
Once the content was collated, the team at Support Office realised that they still needed a few more videos, and so asked everyone to get their heads together with a few more ideas. The finance team jumped to the rescue, putting together a fantastic rendition of the 12 Days of Christmas, and Bailey Manning, daughter of COO Sam Manning also got involved, submitting a wonderful video of her singing.
The final day, taking place on Wednesday 22nd December, featured a special video message from Santa’s head elf, who confirmed that she “had never snow’n a team so worthy of the nice list!"
Everyone at the Support Office hopes that this has spread some festive cheer, and even prompted a laugh or two.
