conduct several quality improvement projects. As you can see we do not want to
rest on our laurels and are always open to new suggestions from all of our
employees on how we can work smarter.
We are currently moving into new accommodation
in readiness for the building of the new, state of the art, Health and WellBeing Centre, which will see us working alongside community and 3rd sector services.
