Cotswold Home launches Blue Light Breakfast Club to thank community services

The Cotswold Home in Burford has launched a Blue Light Breakfast Club, inviting local blue light service personnel to drop in for coffee, connection and refreshments as a way of saying thank you for their dedication and invaluable support in the local community.

The rationale of the breakfast club is to ‘Nourish the heroes who nurture our community’, with residents, families and staff all coming together to warmly welcome those working across the local support sector.

Blue light workers are those who work, or have worked, for the NHS, the emergency services, including the police, ambulance, fire and rescue, the teaching community, social care workers and the armed forces, including personnel at RAF Brize Norton, which is located nearby.

South Central Ambulance Service attended the event with two of their vehicles, providing the opportunity for residents to find out more about the ambulances and the important work carried by the crews on a daily basis. This event is part of Cotswold Home’s continued commitment to building connections with the community and recognising the dedication of frontline workers.

General Manager, Rares Pop, commented: “We are very grateful for all the hard work our blue light workers do and the commitment they make to our community.  Often circumstances can be complex and challenging, and this is our way of giving back.”

The home provided take-away goody bags with refreshing drinks and food items and plans to run the event on a monthly basis.
