‘Sadly, we all know of someone close to us who has availed of the services at Milford and it is through acts of kindness like yours, that Milford can provide its care and support to patients and their families,’ said John.
Kathryn Clancy, Manager of the LYS’ Community Training Centre echoed John’s sentiments and thanked the learners, especially those with the restaurant part of the Catering Skills Course for leading by example.
‘You took the initiative by collecting the bottles, creating collection points across the two LYS city spaces and reminded us daily,’ said Kathryn with a smile.
For what you have achieved you should be extremely proud of yourselves as we are,’ said Kathryn as she thanked instructor Shelia Walsh for supporting the learners with their recycling project.
