🕯️❤️ Aberfan, 60 years on, forever in our hearts.

On 21 October 1966, 144 lives were lost in the Aberfan disaster, including 116 children and 28 adults.

Behind every life lost was a family, a story, a future and people who were loved beyond words. Children who never got the chance to grow up, parents who never came home, and families left with a heartbreak no words could ever truly describe.

Sixty years on, we remember every single life lost, every family left grieving, and a community forever changed by unimaginable tragedy.

Time may pass, but the pain, the memories and the love will never be forgotten.

144 lives. Countless broken hearts. One community that will never forget.

Rest peacefully, all those who lost their lives. You will always be remembered. 🕊️❤️

💜💜 MEET THE TEAM FRIDAY 💜💜

🌟 Hayley 🌟

Hi, I’m Hayley, and I’ve been part of the Thistle Care family for just over a year. I’m the Senior Supervisor, and I support our Branch Manager with the day-to-day running of our branches.

My role is incredibly varied, from supporting our service users and their families to providing daily guidance, training, and support to our amazing care team. I also deliver Level 2 Medication training and work closely with our fantastic team of supervisors to ensure they have the support they need to thrive.

A big part of my role is making sure our care plans and compliance are always up to date, helping us deliver the highest standard of care to every person we support.

A little about me… Outside of work, I’m a proud wife and mum to my wonderful 11-year-old son. Family means everything to me, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance is really important so I can enjoy quality time with them.

I’m proud to be part of such a caring and supportive team, and I look forward to continuing to make a positive difference every day. 💙

Every member of our team should be incredibly proud of the difference they make every single day. It’s these relationships, built on kindness, trust and compassion, that truly define outstanding care.

To our amazing care team 💜 thank you for everything you do. You don’t just provide care, you make a lasting impact on people’s lives.

And to this lovely family, thank you for your beautiful words. We wish you all the very best and will always treasure your kindness. ❤️
