WOW! What a week!
The Affinity Plus Home Support Team celebrated THREE full years in business on Friday, the 12th of July. What did we do to celebrate?.. Well… We celebrated all week long!
On Monday the 8th of July we posted a giveaway on our Social Media Platforms giving one lucky person the opportunity to win a two-night stay with bed & breakfast and one evening meal at ‘Hotel Kilkenny’ and what a response we received!
On Wednesday the 10th of July the Team in the office worked around the clock to deliver goody bags out to all Staff members as a Thank You for the support, kindness & friendship shown to us over the last three years. We are so grateful to our Care Assistants & we are very lucky to have such a wonderful Team.
On Thursday, the 11th of July we hosted a breakfast morning for our Team here in the office with all food supplied from a local business (Dora May’s). Let’s just say.. it went down a treat! On Thursday, Sylvia our Office Administrator presented Elaine & Colette with a canvas filled with some beautiful well wishes from Staff as a birthday gift for both ladies. The messages of support and kindness from Staff was absolutely outstanding whilst also very emotional. (Pictures below).
On Friday, the 12th (The Big Event) we hosted a Coffee Morning in aid of the Irish Cancer Society and what a turn out it was! We are totally blown away!
You might be wondering how we choose to donate all profits to the Irish Cancer Society? Here’s how ~
In June, a poll was sent to our team of Care Assistants asking them to vote for a Charity of their choice with the winning Charity being the one who received 100% of donations from our Coffee Morning. The chosen Charity, was of course the Irish Cancer Society, topping the poll at 76%.
THANK YOU to all who donated, who joined in on Friday's celebrations, who baked sweet treats, to the local Businesses who donated a prize for our Raffle (Mart Coffee, The Hair Emporium, Berney's Pharmacy and Fountain Takeaway), to CarveOn who for donating some personalised Affinity Plus keyrings for the Team, to Brian from the Kilcullen Diary for advertising the event free of charge and to Spar Kilcullen who kindly donated a bunch of coffee cups for the day.
We would also like to take a moment to thank our wonderful Office Team for arranging such a wonderful week of celebrations.
We can now confirm the total amount raised for the Irish Cancer Society is… Drum Roll Please… €752.90. We hit 100% of our target and more. THANK YOU!
