It’s a big team effort at ExtraCare. There are three Housing Officers including myself. I love what we do. I love going around the Schemes and Villages and meeting the local staff. I think most of the time the local staff don’t realise what a good job they do. I think sometimes they need to be reminded of that.

"If residents feel they could benefit from having contact with the students while they are present on site, have a chat with the Wellbeing Advisor who can help put you in touch with them, or alternatively feel free to approach them while they are around the village."

“I volunteer mainly on reception but during lockdown I set up a recycling collection team and a team to deliver orders from supermarkets to people like myself, who were in isolation. This was carried out on my computer, in my apartment, adhering to government and ExtraCare guidelines."
