So grab a cuppa and let's dive into the wonderful world of Hexagon Care and our positive impact on this amazing county!
What Hexagon Care Loves about Yorkshire
Let's be honest: Yorkshire is the bee's knees. It's not just about the stunning scenery or the charming tea rooms; it's a whole vibe. Here are some of our absolute favourite things about this fantastic county:
The 3 Peaks
First up, we've got the iconic Yorkshire Three Peaks: Pen-y-ghent, Whernside, and Ingleborough. These majestic giants aren't just for show—they're a hiker’s paradise. Whether you're a seasoned rambler or just in it for the breathtaking views, these peaks never fail to impress. Plus, nothing beats the bragging rights of saying, "I conquered the Yorkshire Three Peaks!"
Yorkshire Puddings
Who doesn't love a good Yorkshire pudding? Fluffy, golden, and utterly delicious, these little gems are the perfect accompaniment to any roast dinner. In fact, we’d argue they’re the real star of the show. We've even heard rumours that some of our staff have secret family recipes that could win awards (But shh, that's classified information.). Local eateries like The York Roast Co. offer some of the best Yorkshire puddings you'll ever taste, making it a must-try for anyone visiting the region.
A Good Cuppa Tea
Ah, tea—the lifeblood of Yorkshire. Whether you’re sipping it at Bettys Café Tea Rooms or enjoying a cozy brew at home, a good cuppa is practically a daily ritual here. It’s the ultimate comfort, the perfect pick-me-up, and basically the solution to all of life’s problems. Need we say more?
The Biggest Maze in the UK
Did you know Yorkshire is home to the biggest maze in the UK? That’s right—York Maze is a labyrinthine wonderland that’s fun for all ages. Just make sure you’ve got your wits about you, or you might end up lost among the corn stalks. But hey, at least it’s an entertaining way to spend an afternoon!
The Great Outdoors and Scenery
Yorkshire’s great outdoors and stunning scenery are second to none. From the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales to the rugged beauty of the North York Moors, there’s no shortage of natural wonders to explore. It’s the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle, breathe in some fresh air, and maybe even spot a sheep or two.
Hexagon Care - Making a Difference in Yorkshire
If you didn’t know, Hexagon Care Services, where we like to think of ourselves as the Yorkshire puddings of the care world: consistently excellent, universally loved, and always in the mix. We've been building a rock-solid reputation with Local Authorities all over the country—some partnerships have steeped to perfection like fine Yorkshire tea, while others are just starting to brew.
Our referrals and business relations team work hand-in-hand (or should we say, cuppa-in-hand?) with Local Authority commissioners to make sure we're hitting all the right notes. We believe the best collaborations are built on trust, understanding, and maybe a cheeky slice of parkin now and then. When commissioners know our homes and abilities, it leads to spot-on referrals and brilliant teamwork to support each child.
So, what makes Hexagon Care Services stand out? For starters, our Care, Therapy, and Education staff are backed by a fab support system at head office and across the organisation. We offer perks that would make even a Yorkshire terrier wag its tail and focus on keeping our staff happy and here for the long haul.
Our homes are top-notch and kept spick-and-span by our internal maintenance team. And thanks to our award-winning Learning and Development team, our staff are always on their A-game, ready to provide exceptional care.
With 61 homes, 14 schools, and a therapy team of over 25 psychologists, we're all about integrated care and therapeutic services both at home and in school. Sure, Ofsted ratings are important, but let's just say Hexagon Care is like the Wensleydale cheese in a world of processed slices—we consistently outshine the rest.
Ways Hexagon Care Positively Impacts Yorkshire
At Hexagon Care, we’re as dedicated to our communities as Yorkshire is to its tea and puddings. We're all about supporting young people, helping them carve out brighter futures, and making our beloved Yorkshire an even better place to live.
So without further ado, here are a few ways we think our services sprinkle a bit of magic on communities like Yorkshire.
1. High-Quality Residential Care: We offer safe, nurturing homes that make young folks in Yorkshire feel as secure as a cuppa on a rainy day. This stability lets them focus on personal growth, which in turn makes the community tighter than a farmer’s market on a sunny weekend.
2. Specialist Education: With 14 schools (including 2 right here in Yorkshire), our tailored programs ensure each child can reach for the stars—or at least an A-star. This dedication boosts Yorkshire's overall academic mojo and prepares a generation of well-rounded, brainy individuals.
3. Therapeutic Services: Our therapy team, featuring over 25 psychologists, offers home and school-based therapeutic services to support mental health and emotional well-being. This proactive approach means fewer long-term emotional rollercoasters and a happier, more productive Yorkshire.
4. Community Integration: We don't just sit on the sidelines. We dive into local events and initiatives, helping young people develop a sense of belonging. It’s like joining the biggest village fete—everyone feels included and the community becomes more cohesive.
5. Strong Partnerships with Local Authorities: By working hand-in-hand with commissioners, we ensure our services meet Yorkshire's specific needs. These partnerships mean efficient resource allocation and targeted interventions, improving the welfare of our young people and the broader community.
6. Life Skills Training: Teaching young people essential life skills like cooking and budgeting prepares them for independent living. This training is like giving them a map to navigate adulthood, reducing future dependency on social services and turning them into positive contributors to society.
7. Cultural and Recreational Activities: Organising activities that allow young people to explore their interests promotes social skills and cultural awareness. These activities enrich Yorkshire’s local culture and foster a community spirit livelier than a summer fair.
8. Holistic Well-being Focus: Combining physical, emotional, and psychological support creates well-rounded individuals. A healthier population is like having a community where everyone’s on top form, leading to reduced healthcare costs and a more resilient Yorkshire.
9. Inclusive Environment: We foster an atmosphere where every young person, regardless of their background, feels valued. This inclusivity is like a proper Yorkshire welcome—it strengthens community ties and combats social inequality.
10. Advocacy and Empowerment: Empowering young people to advocate for themselves encourages responsible citizenship and active community participation. This empowerment builds future community leaders—think of it as developing the next generation of Yorkshire greatness.
