Extra Care Celebrate New Strategy Launch & Dedicated Staff at Exclusive Stormont Event

← Back to News

On Friday 22nd November, we eagerly launched our new three-year Strategy, ‘Finding Our Way’ as well as commemorated our team members marking their Long Service milestones, ‘Extra Mile’ award winners and our newly appointed Senior Care Workers. To celebrate, we held an event in Stormont’s grand Parliament Buildings with our staff, board members and VIP guests from across the healthcare sector.

‘Finding Our Way’ was introduced by our brand new Chair, Dame Joan Harbison. As she described, the Strategy aims to pave the way for how Extra Care will better deliver its services, connect with communities, develop partnerships and celebrate staff and service users.

UTV favourite and friend of the charity Pamela Ballantine hosted the Awards ceremony for the second year running, welcoming our winners with open arms and rightfully deserved prizes.

It was a fantastic day had by all and we are already looking forward to honouring our dedicated staff next year!
