For Supported Housing Week, we visited St Martin’s House in Gillingham to speak to our colleagues that help serve all of the tasty food to our customers 🥗

Jade Weeks is our Meal Chef at St Martin’s and runs a tight ship in her kitchen – serving a wide range of hot meals five days a week to our customers. There’s a new menu every week too – when we visited, Jade was serving roast beef, Thai curry, apple cake and rhubarb and ginger sponge!

But it’s not just Jade that keeps the kitchen running smoothly. Saffie joined Jade in the kitchen two years ago through Employ My Ability – a local organisation which helps find its students practical work experience. When Saffie first joined us, she was accompanied by her support worker, but she’s now settled in well and helps Jade keep the meal service running smoothly when she’s not at college – serving our diners, tidying up and making the perfect, thick custard, just the way their diners like it!

Between them, they run a meal service that’s healthy and nutritionally balanced. The food is an important part of life at St Martin’s House, where our customers also enjoy a range of regular activities and social events, as well as care that’s suited to their needs.

St Martin’s House is our Extra Care scheme, offering 55 apartments at affordable rent for people who need additional support to live independently. Learn more and enquire from the link in the comments 👇🔗

As strong winds and storms are reported to be hitting the UK before the end of the year, it’s important to check your roof for signs of damage and know how you can report it to us.

If you’ve not checked your roof for a while, look out for anything that seems out of place such as dislodged or missing tiles. If you spot something, report it to us online as soon as you can.

If your roof develops a leak, put a container under it to catch the water immediately and move any contents and furniture away from it if you’re able to. You should report any leaks to us as soon as possible.

Earlier this month, Dorchester Town Council unveiled a new sign outside our homes at Bayeux Court to celebrate an international connection between Dorchester and Bayeux, France dating back to 1944.

The sign was unveiled by the Mayor of Dorchester, Les Fry for Dorchester West, and the Chair of the Dorchester-Bayeux Society, Councillor Gareth Jones, and shares the history behind the twinning of the two towns and how Bayeux Court was named in tribute.

Councillor Les Fry said: “The sign helps bring the history to life and recognises a friendship that has endured for generations. It is a reminder of the legacy of the military veterans whose bravery changed the course of the Second World War.”

We also invited Kate Legg, Grants Manager at Magna, and her sister Dawn back to Bayeux Court to recreate a photo which was taken of them 41 years ago with the Mayor of Bayeux, Jean Le Carpentier, when the scheme first opened in 1985.

Kate’s mum was the first warden for Bayeux Court, and her and her sister have fond memories of growing up in some of Magna’s sheltered homes in the local area.

She said: “Coming back to recreate the photograph with Dawn and the mayor was really special. It brought back so many memories of the people, the events and the sense of community that made this place feel like home.”
