4 What makes you proud about our community teams?

Their resilience: our ‘doors’ (even though we don’t actually have doors!) are never closed; they care for all those in need and keep going at times of great demand with a smile and compassion even when affected by issues beyond their control such as bad weather, road closure and at the beginning of last year the floods.
