Federation Assembly 2011!!!
Mark Skinner a Companion at EVC gave a Community Update with a difference at this year's Federation Assembly. His (unknown until a week ago) musical talents were a big hit!!!
Report by Companions from EVC at the Emmaus Federation Assembly July 2010
We have had a lot of highs this year, amongst them:
i. Since the bistro refurbishment was completed, it has generated a lot more business. We receive lots of compliments on both the food and the staff on a daily basis.
ii. We are continuing our recycling campaign with designated areas for wood, metal, cardboard etc. As well as being conscious toward the environmental aspects, it has helped us run a more efficient workplace.
iii. We are also able to offer Companions a wide range of NVQ’s from catering right through to waste management. These have proved popular and all received a lot of interest.
We believe that not only do NVQ’s offer benefits for future job prospect, but they also offer short term attainable goals and give immediate focus to someone who is struggling.
iv. We recently held a “family day” which proved very popular, things like sumo suits, a bouncy castle, face painting were just some of the activities that were enjoyed by all.
We have only had one low this year, but a huge one, we are sorry to have to tell everyone that Terry a valued, much liked and respected Companion passed away earlier this year. We are sure that he would be proud of all we have achieved as a Community.
To lighten the news we are also delighted to announce the marriage of Helen and Garry, they had a great day and are enjoying married life
Finally we’d like to acknowledge and thank all of the staff team for the difficult job they continue to do magnificently.
