Community Matters

You might recall that The Magdalene Group was chosen to take part in the Community Matters scheme in John Lewis Norwich. This ran from May through to the end of July. Along with Break and Friends of Norwich in Bloom, we received funds dependent on tokens received by their customer voting box in The Place to Eat. We are delighted to report that our share is £977 which will go towards funding our EnRoute project. Thank you to everyone who voted for us; and thank you to John Lewis for the opportunity to be involved in this.
A warm welcome …

Employee of the Month
20 August 2018
Our Employee of the Month award has been running for a while now. Rather remiss of me not to have reported on this before. However, timely to announce that July's unanimous nomination is the lovely Deb : “For being such a great ambassador of & for The Magdalene Group; for being such a support to the Rose team, in particular; & for being such a valued member of the whole team, in general." Deb, our Young People's Team Manager, starts her maternity leave shortly; she will be very much missed by us all, but we are very excited about her forthcoming event!
