"It's just crazy to see how engaged they can be." My Grandad ended up in Purdysburn, a notorious and highly stigmatised mental health facility just outside of south Belfast. Every weekend that I was home, I'd go to visit him without fail. I'd drive up there with my Grandmum. We'd sit with him for hours, often in silence, not knowing what to say or do. We'd periodically answer the same questions over and over - "Who are you?" "Can I go home?" "Where's my Mummy?" "Do I not have work tomorrow?" At the time, I didn't think that there was much that could be done, but what we've created with the #HappinessProgramme at Social-Ability is purposefully designed to make visiting loved ones so much more enjoyable and meaningful. Hours of bespoke entertainment at the finger tips of staff, family and friends. As part of our 2025 initiatives to further support the care sector, John Ramsay is running a campaign that focuses on "visiting with a purpose", so that every time you visit your loved one, you don't come away feeling how I did all of those moons ago. We're still a small (but extremely passionate!) group of people trying to make a difference and improve our reach - if you're in my network and have been effected by someone living with a cognitive condition, it would mean the world to me if you could like/share the video below. #dementia #technology #healthcare

For those few people not yet sick of seeing my face in your newsfeed, here’s a snippet of a recent employee spotlight I did.

As we wrap up our 80th anniversary series, we’ve been able to reflect on our accomplishments and all the challenges along the way. One thing has always remained constant – our people’s unwavering loyalty.   Like any long-established organization, we have experienced numerous changes and overcome various trials. But we’ve remained one company because of the unique insights, experiences and talents that each of our team members bring to the table. Our people are what drive us to succeed and allow us to say, “we’ve never missed an opening day”. The teamwork and camaraderie among our employees foster an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to thrive. Together, we create a culture of teamwork and collaboration that drives innovation and empowers everyone to thrive. At AECOM Hunt, we're not just building a successful company; we're fostering a community rooted in respect, support, and shared purpose. Here's to the remarkable individuals who have made our 80-year journey possible! Because of you, we look forward to the next 80 and beyond. #AECOMHunt #80yearanniversary #constructionindustry #BuildingTheFuture #MilestoneAnniversary #FoundationForTheFuture

I was very excited to join the waterfowl count at Lake Chivero Bird Sanctuary yesterday🦆🦜🪶🍁. But, as fate would have it, I missed the bird walk🤦♀️. Here's what happened: I left home at 6 am, thinking I had enough time to get to our 6:30 am meet-up point. I stay just 10 minutes away from town, so I thought I was safe. However, the kombi(omnibus) took a longer route and I arrived in town after 20mins. With just 10 minutes to spare, I ordered an InDrive. But, the driver didn't know the exact location, and neither did I. We relied on GPS, which took us to the wrong gate. Seeing there was no one in sight, I had to make calls fast to locate the team. Unfortunately the person I called wasnt going but told me I wasnt at the correct gate where the team was meeting. So i had to walk back to the other gate further down. I arrived at 6:37 am, only to find out that the team had already left at 6:30 am. I was disappointed and had a dull morning💔. It was my fault though. I now know better, next time I will be early🤞😂. As I reflected on what happened, I realized that a lack of preparation and planning had led to my missed opportunity. If I had: → Known the exact meet-up point beforehand not just the name → Left home earlier to account for unexpected delays → Communicated better with the team beforehand I probably would have made it on time. This experience taught me about the importance of planning and preparation. Life doesn't wait for anyone. Time keeps moving, and that one second or one minute can be the difference between an amazing opportunity and regret. New week, new chances! Don't let lateness hold you back from seizing opportunities. Plan ahead, stay focused and #HappyNewWeek! Have you ever missed an opportunity due to a lack of preparation? Share your story and lets learn from each other!🙃 #BirdWatching #OpportunityLost #TimeManagement #PunctualityMatters
