MP joins Gilmorton’s festive celebrations

Liz Kendall, Labour MP for Leicester West, joined colleagues and people supported at Community Integrated Care’s Gilmorton Supported Living Service in Leicester, for a festive celebration, on Friday 20^th December.

People supported by our charity were delighted to welcome Liz to their homes, providing a guided tour of their Christmas decorations and sharing more about what it’s like to live at Gilmorton.

The day was full of festivities – from hot chocolates and games to a delicious Christmas buffet, fake snow and even a visit from Father Christmas himself.

Speaking of the day, Gilmorton’s Service Leader, Gillian Edwards, said, “It was fantastic to have Liz Kendall visit the people we support and our team at Gilmorton. She was so warm and friendly, and keen to learn more about the service and the brilliant achievements of the people we support. It was also a great opportunity to show her the incredible work that our frontline teams do, in supporting people to live wonderful and full lives, and to share some of the big challenges we face in social care. Overall, it was an amazing day full of festive cheer, and we were delighted to have Liz join us!”
