We’ve hit 4.9 on Trustpilot! ⭐

That’s a pretty special rating to see, and one that comes down to our people and the service they give our customers every day.

Our Customer Service team is a huge part of that. They’re there to listen, answer questions, reassure and help – and often they’re the first real conversation someone has with us.

This lovely feedback about Amy says it all.

Reaching 4.9 is a brilliant reflection of Amy and the whole team who work hard to give our customers the kind of experience we want to be known for.

Quick update on Ben’s Operation Swim 🏊‍♂️

After a 3km swim on Sunday and another 2km this morning, Ben has now passed the 20km mark, reaching 21.65km so far!

He was hoping to go a bit further today, but cramp had other plans, so he had to cut things short. Still, he’s doing brilliantly and is well on track to hit his 30km goal.

So far, he’s raised £405 for Help For Heroes, a big thank you to everyone who’s supported him, it really means a lot 💙

Did you know that batteries are a leading cause of fires in bin lorries? It’s true: when crushed, they can spark and ignite, putting lives and our environment at risk.

We’re committed to keeping our community safe. That’s why we want to remind you:
🔋 Never throw batteries or electricals in your general waste or recycling bins.
🛒 Recycle them separately at designated points, like at our office or local drop-off locations.

Every device you recycle helps recover valuable materials like lithium, gold, and copper, and could even save a life.

Important update if you or a loved one uses an emergency alarm pendant.

The UK's landline network is changing. If your alarm plugs into a phone socket, it needs to be compatible with the new digital system. Don't worry, your safety lifeline won't be cut off. Here’s what to do:

• Contact your landline provider (like BT or Virgin Media) and tell them you have a telecare alarm.
• Call your alarm company (like us at Careium!) to check if your device needs an upgrade.

BT has a new service where they will send an engineer to test everything works before switching you over. They will be contacting customers by letter, inviting them to book or confirm an appointment with an Openreach engineer.
