Word from
the team
As we enter 2017, we reflect on another tremendously
successful year for Belong and look forward to enhancing our
services further over the year ahead.
We are ever thankful for the hard work and dedication of all
of our staff and their unyielding commitment to providing the
very best care for our customers.
I am delighted to see that, in the last few months alone, Belong
and its people have been recognised with a number of accolades
at the Great North West Care Awards, with three winners
going through to the Great British Care Awards national finals
next year.

2017 looks set to be another fantastic year, and will see
the opening of one of our newest villages, currently under
construction, Belong Morris Feinmann, in Didsbury, Manchester.
The village is on track to open in summer 2017 and we are
excited to welcome members of the Jewish community to
the Belong family. The opening of the village will also see
the unveiling of our remembrance garden, created with the
help of award-winning garden designer Carolyn Hardern to
commemorate victims of the Holocaust. We were delighted
when the garden took home a prestigious silver-gilt medal
from the Royal Horticultural Society at the RHS Tatton flower
show in summer last year.
2017 will also be a crucial period in the development of Belong
Newcastle-under-Lyme which, thanks to a £1.8m grant from
the Heritage Lottery Fund, will see historic building and former
Newcastle nightspot, ‘Maxims’, transformed into the Belong
Heritage Gallery. This will become an integral part of a brand
new Belong care village, scheduled to open in 2018.
Development of the village is now underway and we have
been working closely with Brampton Museum and the New Vic
Theatre to encourage community engagement with the new
village and gallery and create a true reflection of Newcastle’s
rich cultural heritage.
I hope you all had an enjoyable and restful holiday period and,
from all at Belong, we wish you the very best for 2017.
Belong Crewe has become the only
provider of home care services in
Cheshire and one of only a handful in
the UK to be rated as ‘Outstanding’ by
the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for
its Belong at Home domiciliary service.
CQC found that Belong at Home Crewe as
‘exceptionally caring’ and that ‘without
exception, staff went the extra mile to
ensure that people were safe and happy
within their lives.’
Crewe becomes Cheshire’s first
home care service to be rated
‘Outstanding’
It commended its emphasis on recruiting staff with
shared values and beliefs in order to provide high quality
care and noted that staff were strongly committed to
making a difference, speaking passionately and proudly
about the people they supported.
Belong Macclesfield have also received a ‘Good’ rating:
In a separate inspection, the CQC found that Belong at
Home Macclesfield was ‘safe, person centred, sensitive
and compassionate.’
Customers commented that the service is their lifeline
and staff members feel like an extended family.

Memory Lane...
Mary Robinson
For 92-year-old Belong Atherton resident
and former teacher, Mary Robinson, charity
work has always been of top importance.
A whole lot of history
Pictured left to right: Sharon Bull, Sandra Walley, Mandy James, Josephine
Mollison, Michelle Bell, Sarah Hilton, Tiffany Fletcher and Katie Bennion
(front centre).
Bistro and Catering Manager, Katie
Bennion, with Resident, Vicki King.
Born in 1924, Mary Robinson spent her youth living in
Pennington, near Leigh, before attending Crewe College in
Cheshire, where she trained to be a history teacher. Mary also
took on teaching PE, inspired by her keen interest in sport that
stemmed from her days playing tennis in her youth. She taught
at Manchester Road School and then Leigh Church of England
School, later gaining a position in Tyldsley Girls’ school, which
merged with the boy’s school and became Fred Longworth
High School. She taught at the high school for many years,
becoming a pastoral mistress, in charge of pupils’ welfare.
As well as looking after her daughter Trish, who was born in
1955, alongside her teaching career, Mary took part in a lot of
charity work and volunteered at the Family Planning service
weekly from 1960. After she retired at age 60, she took on
numerous charitable roles including: working for both the
Leigh and Atherton Citizen’s Advice Bureau and at the Leigh
Infirmary, where she volunteered until the age of 85. As a
reward for her tireless community work, Mary was invited
to a garden party at Buckingham Palace, where she met the
Queen, Prince Charles and Prince Phillip.
Familiar faces
Mary Robinson first experienced Belong when she received
care through the Belong at Home domiciliary service, whilst
living in Atherton. She then began to attend Experience Days
in 2016 and took part in village activities including games
afternoons and coffee mornings.
A real surprise occurred when at her first Experience Day,
Mary came across support worker Renee Whittingham who
recognised Mary as her former Fred Longworth high school
teacher! Renee recalls that Mrs Robinson, who was her history
teacher in 1966, was very kind and gentle and always took
time to help pupils who struggled in school.
Now a Belong resident, having moved
into Atherton’s Tyldsley household last
July, Mary enjoys socialising with fellow
residents, especially at the village’s
weekly Songs of Praise viewing session.
She spends a lot of time in the garden
where she helps to grow tomatoes and
cucumbers and she also enjoys being
pampered at the village’s hair salon
and therapy rooms. Mary receives
regular visits from her daughter and two
grandchildren; Emma and Jonathan, who
all live locally and says she feels very
happy and very safe in the village.
Both Mary and her daughter have seen
Belong as a ‘home for life’ that caters
to all stages of life and believe that
using Belong at Home and Experience
Days helped Mary to adjust to living
permanently in the village.
Mary says: “I met a lot of people at the
Experience Days and staff members
made sure that the things that I had
enjoyed and friends that I had made
stayed the same once I moved from
being a day visitor to permanent resident
at the village.”
Belong Crewe residents have a ball at
the Great Gatsby Party
Residents and staff members at Belong Crewe, started their
Christmas celebrations in style at a Great Gatsby themed ball.
Party guests donned 1920s’ style outfits, sipped champagne
and enjoyed learning routines from a ballroom dancing
instructor.
The highlight of the party was the entertainment; a professional
ballroom dancing instructor invited residents to the dance floor
to learn routines and show off their dance moves. The village
management team also took to the stage dressed as 1920s’
‘flappers’ and gangsters and sang well-known songs from
the era. The old-time music acted as a form of reminiscence
therapy, proven to be particularly beneficial for people living
with dementia, stimulating cognitive ability as well as being
therapeutic.
Residents embraced the spirit of the event by sporting flapper
headdresses that they had created at an arts and crafts session
earlier in the week. Craft sessions such as these also provide
sensory therapy that has been found to decrease agitation
and restlessness, which can be common for people living with
dementia.
Michelle Bell, Belong Crewe’s General Manager, said:
“Everybody had a wonderful time at our Great Gatsby ball!
Everyone really got into the spirit of the event and it was lovely
to see residents dancing and singing along to familiar songs. It
was a perfect start to the festive season.”
Pictured left to right (back row): Belong Crewe staff, Nicole Griffiths, Amie
Adams, Emma Palin and Julie Barr, with residents (front centre), Cath Scott,

Partygoers were also treated to canapés
and cakes in The Venue in the village,
which was decorated in the style of an
opulent Gatsby party and featured a
photo-booth and props.

Belong staff crowned winners at
the Great North West Care Awards
Three Belong registered nurses have been crowned winners at
the Great North West Care Awards, and will now go forward
to the national finals of the Great British Care Awards. Belong
Macclesfield’s Kate Jauffur won the ‘Care Trainer Award’
and John Summerton was awarded the ‘Good Nurse Award’
whilst Belong Atherton lead nurse, Nicola Johnstone, won
the ‘Palliative Care Award’. The awards seek to recognise and
celebrate people who provide excellent care for older people.
Practice Development Facilitator, Kate Jauffur, has shown great
success in tailoring her training to suit the needs of different
learners and has introduced innovative training schemes to
the village, which has led to improved care for residents. Kate
has also instigated a ‘Buddy Scheme’ to encourage a learning
exchange between the village and the East Cheshire Hospice
and has recently introduced Namaste training for care teams,
so that they can provide one-to-one sensory therapy for people
with dementia at the end of their life.
Lisa receives her trophy from
Boyzone singer Keith Duffy.

Nicola Johnstone is pictured, 3rd from the left,
with her colleagues (left to right), Andy Sheild,
Claire Bibby, Gill Kelly, Christine Thomas and
Michaela Heaton.
John Summerton was inspired to make the switch from his NHS
management position to joining Belong after experiencing the
village as a relative. He is passionate about ensuring a ‘person
first’ approach and puts any nursing interventions in the context
of the person’s whole life - in terms of ‘being with’ not ‘doing to’.
Atherton’s Nicola Johnstone has previously received recognition
for her work, winning two awards in the recent ‘Hospice in your
Care Home Awards’, run by Wigan and Leigh Hospice. Earlier
this year, she also led the village to achieve the Gold Standard
Framework for care at end-of-life, for which Belong Atherton
received a rating of ‘Commended’ for its outstanding approach.
She supports household staff and families to sensitively discuss
difficult, but necessary end-of-life decisions, and leads her team
in providing emotional as well as practical support.
Phil Orton, Head of People at Belong, said: “All staff members
at Belong work tirelessly to ensure that the best care possible is
provided to our customers and I am delighted that the dedication
of three members of our team has been recognised by winning
these awards and going forward as finalists in the prestigious,
national Great British Care Awards. We wish them the very best
of luck in the final stage of this competition!”
The national award winners will be announced at a gala dinner
on 31st March 2017, after attending the final round of interviews.
Belong Warrington Experience Co-ordinator, Lisa McLaughlin,
has been named ‘Activity Co-ordinator of the year’ at the
prestigious National Care Awards, receiving her trophy from
Boyzone singer Keith Duffy at a Gala Night at the Hilton
London Metropole Hotel.
The award celebrates a person working within a care home
service who has made an exceptional contribution to the
quality of life, health and happiness of the people they support
through the activities they provide.
Commenting on Lisa’s impact on the village, competition
judges said that “Lisa’s ability to create a whole team approach
to deliver personalised activity provision is exceptional, and
her inter-generational approach to dementia awareness as a
champion, demonstrated through her local school links, set her
apart in a strong field.”
Lisa is known within the village for being a true ‘people person,’
with an enthusiasm for providing a diverse and inclusive
programme of events and activities tailored to the needs and
interests of individual people. She is also active in the wider
community, working with local schools and scout groups,
training almost 450 Dementia Friends to improve awareness
and understanding of living with dementia.
Lisa takes time to enhance her
understanding of dementia by reading
widely on the subject, alongside
undertaking formal training and her
approach has helped to inspire the
staff team to engage customers in
meaningful occupation using a range of
techniques. She regularly runs activities
with a physical or sensory element,
such as gardening, exercise, dance and
monthly themed events.
Belong Warrington General Manager,
Janine Curwell, said: “I am delighted that
Lisa’s hard work has been recognised by
being named ‘Activity Co-ordinator of
the year’ by industry expert judges. She
is sensitive and aware of people’s needs
and moods, and resourceful in adapting
her activities and strategies to cater for
these.”

“The Belong Heritage Gallery
will include Sammy Bell’s Tea
Rooms, the Old Pomona Inn, a
reminiscence gallery, hair salon
and timeline to commemorate
the site’s past.”
Newcastle MP and mayor tour renovation
projects bringing town’s heritage back to life
Guests are pictured outside St. Giles Church
which they visited as part of the tour.
Guests discuss the plans for the new Belong
Newcastle-under-Lyme village.
The site of the former Maxims nightclub was the starting
point of a tour of a number of exciting projects underway to
transform life in Newcastle-under-Lyme, thanks to funding from
the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
MP Paul Farrelly and the Mayor of Newcastle, Councillor Ian
Wilkes, were among VIP guests on a heritage tour which included
the new Belong community village taking shape on the site of the
former nightclub.
The Belong village centre will be open to the public and incorporate
a heritage gallery with a range of facilities linked to the site’s
heritage. These include Sammy Bell’s tea rooms, the recreated
Old Pomona Inn, a reminiscence gallery and timeline charting the
history of the building from its origins as a 17th century home,
through to its development as Newcastle’s first pottery, a staging
coach inn and most recently the iconic Maxims nightclub.
The next stop was St Giles Church, which has recently landscaped
its churchyard to showcase the heritage once obscured by the
unsightly ‘mound’ and launched the St Giles Heritage Trail app as
an interactive way for people to access the site’s history.
Representatives from Community
Investment Company, Sporting
Communities, also highlighted
their project to engage young
people in the Roman history of
Chesterton following a ‘Young
Roots’ grant from the HLF.
MP Paul Farrelly said: “It’s great
to see the wide range of projects
underway and the significant
impact they are already having to
improve the town and the lives
of people in it. There are some
fabulous ideas being shared to
develop these facilities and I hope
people will be inspired to identify
more opportunities to increase
people’s awareness of Newcastle’s
history and take pride in the local
area.”
The Belong Heritage Gallery will provide
the setting for a wide range of activities
and reminiscence sessions for people
with dementia and establish a dementia
centre of excellence in the town.
It will open when the village launches
early in 2018, creating over 140 jobs
and providing accommodation for 100 older people, either
in independent living apartments or households providing
24-hour care. The village is being developed by specialist
healthcare property company, Prime, and will be operated by
Belong.
Mayor of Newcastle, Councillor Ian Wilkes, commented:
“The Borough Council welcomes the contribution of the
Heritage Lottery Fund in working with local organisations to
support regeneration of the town, both in terms of its physical
transformation and activities to engage the community in our
shared heritage.
“We would really encourage people to make the most of
opportunities created by these projects, as well as to put
forward ideas for new ones.”

Residents Adrian and Avril Cohen

Belong Warrington staff
help resident to
‘ Pop the question’
Brenda Jenkinson
Experience Day Support Worker
60 SECOND INTERVIEW
How did you first get into the care sector?
Staff at Belong Warrington, have helped a resident
to ‘propose’ to his wife on the anniversary of the day
that they got engaged, to revive a tradition that he had
embraced every year until becoming wheelchair bound
which prevented him from performing his romantic
gesture in the way he used to.
Resident Adrian Cohen has built a close relationship with gym
instructor Sian Ryland, who works with him in Belong’s specialist
exercise studio on a personalised fitness programme to help build
his strength and enable him to stand up out of his wheelchair.
Adrian’s wife, Avril, has lived in an adjacent room to her husband
on Threlfall household for the past two years, and they spend
most of their days together. Avril also attends gym sessions to
improve her mobility.
Hearing that Adrian ‘re-proposed’ to his wife of 54 years each
year, Sian realised that since he had become wheelchair bound,
Adrian was no longer able to get down on one knee and
continue his tradition. She endeavoured to find another way of
helping Adrian to re-create the proposal and went out to buy Avril’s
favourite flowers and chocolates so that Adrian could present the
gifts to his wife, asking for her hand in marriage again.
Belong gym instructor, Sian, said:
“Mr and Mrs Cohen are such a lovely
couple - they are never without each
other and it’s wonderful to see them
living independently whilst remaining
so close at Belong. It was a pleasure to
help Adrian with this surprise, it was
all worth it for the look on Avril’s face;
she was thrilled and reduced to tears
of happiness!”
“Mr and Mrs Cohen are such
a lovely couple - they are
never without each other
and it’s wonderful to see
them living independently
whilst remaining so close
at Belong.”
I started my caring career as a domestic assistant in a hospital in
1985. I then worked as a home carer and later moved into working
in a social work capacity. After retiring in September 2015 I found
that I really missed working in care, so a couple of months later I
applied for the role at Belong Warrington.
What’s your favourite aspect of the job?
I love being able to dedicate myself to providing a service and
creating a stimulating environment - it’s wonderful to be able to
provide a sense of fun to customers. Most of all, though, I love
that the Experience Day service is tailored to meet customer
needs, rather than the customer having to fit in with the service’s
needs and what they offer; it makes for a much more personal
and engaging experience.
What are its hidden challenges?
The good most definitely outweighs the bad, but the trickiest
part is making sure that, in a group setting, everyone is treated
as an individual and that their needs are catered for. We want
everybody to feel included, comfortable and happy, so ensuring
that the environment remains stimulating for everybody can be
a challenge.
What makes working for Belong unique?
Compared to many other care settings, there is much more
freedom at Belong to provide a high level of service with
passion, commitment and enthusiasm - that’s what I’m all
about! Also, the staff really are second to none.
At every level, they work tirelessly
to provide the absolute best service,
which makes it a really wonderful
place to work.
What’s your favourite way to
relax after a long day (or night)
at work?
I enjoy gardening, meeting up with
friends and family and I also go to the
gym two or three times a week. I also
enjoy a tipple or two at the weekend,
because why not!

A Customer’s View
Nothing is more important
to Belong than its customers,
which is why we love hearing
about their experiences. For
this issue we spoke to Lisa
Greenhall and Joanne Wilks,
daughters of Belong Wigan

Sandra Hudson, who recently,
sadly passed away.

Local rugby hero visits
Belong Atherton
Residents and staff at Belong Atherton,
enjoyed an afternoon with Wigan
Warriors rugby club star, Dom Manfredi,
who took a day off from training to join
their annual Christmas fayre.
Sandra first experienced Belong when she
received daily help in her home to administer
medicine, through the Belong at Home service.
She soon began attending Belong Experience
Days and following a deterioration in her
health, went on to move into an independent
Belong Wigan apartment.
In October 2014, after receiving respite care in
the village, Sandra moved into Elm Household.
Lisa and Joanne recall: “Moving mum into the
household was a very difficult decision; we really
wanted her to continue to live independently
but felt that she needed more frequent help
from the staff. Sandra enjoyed living in the
household and was well known amongst
guest entertainers and support workers who
commented that ‘there was no such thing as a
party unless Sandra was there.’
Towards the end of her life, Sandra was cared
for by the Belong household team. Joanne
commented: “Somehow, Belong managed to
turn such a sad situation into a positive one.
They kept our spirits high and we all continued
to laugh and smile right until the end, which
is exactly what mum would have wanted. The
team were very conscious of mum as a person
and took into account her personality that they
knew so well, despite us feeling like we had lost
her. [This experience inspired Joanne to write a
poem about dementia, printed on page opposite.]
“They went above and beyond the call of duty to
ensure that Lisa, myself and our families had all
the guidance that we needed, whilst providing
mum with excellent and dignified care. They
even allowed us to stay for a week in mum’s
room and looked after us with regular meals
and comforting words.”
Lisa added: “Since mum passed away, Belong
have continued to support us and our families.
We’ve visited the village regularly to catch up
with the staff and we are still invited to all of
the activities that we attended with mum. Marie
Calderbank, Wigan’s experience coordinator,
made a lovely gesture on Remembrance Day;
she invited us to plant a poppy in remembrance
of mum in the village garden.
“We will be eternally grateful to the Belong team
for the support that they provided for our mum
from when she first used Belong at Home, right
up until her final days on the household.”

The Christmas fayre included 5 stalls
and a Santa’s grotto and raised £700 for
activities at the village.
The highlight of the fayre was the top raffle
prize of a signed Wigan Warriors shirt,
which was presented by Manfredi himself.
The player spent the rest of the afternoon
visiting Belong Atherton’s households and
meeting fans, with whom he shared rugby
stories and jokes.
Gemma Willetts, Experience Coordinator
at Belong Atherton, said: “We all had a
great time at our Christmas fayre! Dom
Manfredi’s presence in the village had
such a positive impact - he really engaged
with everyone and spent a long time
getting to know our residents.”

Belong Wigan reveal their
new ‘remembrance garden’
Residents and staff members at Belong Wigan, marked
Remembrance Day with a poignant ceremony to open their
new ‘remembrance garden,’ that has been designed with 102
hand-crafted red poppies; a touching tribute to the 100th year
anniversary of the Battle of the Somme and two Belong Wigan
bereavements.
The remembrance garden will remain permanently outside the
village, with forget-me-not flowers being added in the spring.
Special guests at Belong Wigan’s remembrance day included
veterans from the village; Private Walter Morris, Private John
Heaton, Corporal Bill Sievewright and Private John Rothwell
who were all introduced by name and army rank to guests
and took part in the ceremony by laying wreaths. The garden
opening was followed by an afternoon tea in The Venue, with a
1940s themed entertainer.
Belong Warrington festive craft session
Belong Warrington residents
celebrate Forget-Me-Not day
Residents at Belong Warrington, enjoyed a craft session
with volunteers from Priestley College, to celebrate
national Forget-Me-Not Day, which encourages people
to reminisce memories shared with loved ones.
Residents at the village were supplied with colourful craft
materials such as paint, buttons and textured fabrics and
together made a range of items, including felt flower
badges and pictures, as gifts for family and friends. As
well as being a creative and engaging activity, handling
the materials acted as sensory therapy, that has been
found to decrease agitation and restlessness, which can
be common for people living with dementia.
Good luck Doreen
Staff and residents bid farewell to
popular volunteer, Doreen Handley,
as she left the village for pastures
new after 4 years of volunteering
her time as a member of the
village’s Experience Days team.
Doreen is pictured here with the

Gina Moorjani, who presented
Doreen with a hand-written poem
and her very own replica of the
‘Experience Days Team of the Year’
trophy which the team won at the
Star Awards 2015. We would like to
thank Doreen for her hard work and
commitment and wish her the very
best of luck for the future.
Belong Warrington residents enjoyed a festive
craft session with members of the St. Elphin’s
girl guides in December. Everyone enjoyed
creating Christmas cards, personalised baubles
and miniature Christmas trees.
The village’s Experience Coordinator, Lisa
McLaughlin, said; “It was lovely to see both
generations interacting and chatting about
Christmas traditions. Lots of the residents were
involved in the Brownies and Guides in years
gone by so having them visit evoked lots of
lovely memories and great stories too.”
TREE OF LIGHT
Staff, residents and visitors at Belong Crewe enjoyed a
festive performance by the pupils from Vine Tree School Staff and residents at Belong
