A team of cyclists from Vanguard Self Storage in Bristol are taking on a 100-mile cycle challenge in support of Brandon.

On Sunday 11 June, Brandon’s social enterprise, Elm Tree Farm, will be opening its gates and welcoming members of the public on Open Farm Sunday – the national farming industry open event run by Linking Environment and Farming (LEAF).

Low pay is an issue for all social care providers – we all know support workers are not paid enough for the invaluable work that they do. Brandon is committed to being a voice for change. Our Interim CEO, Helen England, is ensuring Brandon is campaigning for change alongside other social care providers.

Tara Bird, Brandon’s Early Careers lead, explains how Brandon supports staff to continuously develop throughout their careers.

For people who are experiencing dementia, it is sometimes difficult to get a diagnosis. It can be especially hard if other factors are involved, for example, if the person has a learning disability or if they communicate non-verbally.

A new and exciting venture is coming to the centre of Bristol. If you remember the old Marks & Spencer in Broadmead, well, after a few months of hard work, the space has been converted into a new Arts and Sustainable Hub - called SPARKS - and Brandon is thrilled to be involved.
