Captain Tom’s determination and spirit during a time of crisis inspired so many people, and it’s the same determination that we have seen in our staff across FitzRoy over the past year to keep the people we support, and each other, safe.

After being made redundant following a 25 year career in retail, Laura decided to take the leap and begin a new career at FitzRoy. Since then, she hasn't looked back.

Trevor loves challenging himself and fundraising, so after a long winter he decided to put on his walking shoes and get outside to complete a marathon in three weeks.
Dealing with a coronavirus outbreak is one of the hardest experiences our staff could face. Thankfully, they don’t have to face it alone.

Cathryn has been supported by FitzRoy for eight years and in that time has overcome obstacles and inspired so many with her journey.
The people we support at FitzRoy have been very hard hit during the pandemic. They don’t always understand why they can’t see their friends and family and or do some of their favourite activities. Greg, who we support at our residential care home in Kent, has been struggling with the restrictions – and staff decided to use Greg’s biggest passion to help him find his zest for life again.
