“My Country Says Thank You”- Signature at Parklands Manor Leads Community Effort to Support Ukraine Refugee Crisis.

The residents of Signature at Parklands Manor, a luxury care home in Chertsey, have come together to offer support and gifts to refugees affected by the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

The care home’s efforts have also inspired the local community, with neighbours, friends and local businesses, including Rochills Estate Agency, joining Parklands Manor in donating food, essential supplies, sleeping bags, backpacks, clothes and other items of use.

The valuable supplies have been delivered to a drop off point at Ukrainian House, Holland Park, last week, before being transferred to those most in need.
Parkland Manor’s Food and Beverage Manager, Yuliia Gluch, is a Ukrainian national with family still in the country. She hopes the kindness, integrity and care displayed by her fellow colleagues, residents and neighbours in the community will be received by her own family, and countless others still in Ukraine.

Signature at Parklands Manor is a care home offering person-centred assisted living, nursing, dementia and respite care, and belong to the Signature Senior Lifestyle collection of 36 care homes across London and the home counties.

Yuliia Gluch, Food and Beverage Manager at Parklands Manor, said:

“I am so very grateful to the residents of Parklands Manor and my fellow colleagues, friends, strangers and the wider community who have collectively come together to help families like mine, still in Ukraine.

“In times of crisis, no gesture can be too small. The supplies that Signature at Parklands Manor were able to donate will go a long way to making someone’s day that little bit better and brighter. My country says thank you.”

Neil Copping, General Manager at Signature at Parklands Manor, said:

“All of us at Parklands Manor are deeply troubled about the conflict in Ukraine, especially as one of our colleague’s family has been directly affected.

Staff wanted to help in any way they could, so we started a collection to support the people of Ukraine. The response has been amazing and since starting this just over a week ago, we have already made two trips to the local collection depots. On the last trip we had to use one of our minibuses due to the sheer volume of the donations. It is lovely to see everyone contributing for this extremely worthy cause.”
