HOME HELP ORGANISERS ATTENDS ROYAL GARDEN PARTY
A home help organiser from Campbeltown was rubbing shoulders with VIPs from around the UK last week when she attended the Royal Garden Party at Holyrood.
Diana Brodie was nominated by her Acting Service Manager, Ann Muir, to go along to the prestigious event for her long service to Argyll and Bute Council over the years.
The Council’s Director of Community Services, Douglas Hendry, said: “This is a great achievement for Diana and I would like to congratulate her for the outstanding service which she provides to the Council.
“I hope that she had a lovely day at the Royal Garden Party with her daughter and I wish her continued success in the future.”
Diana began working in the County Treasurer’s Department of Argyll County Council in 1965 before taking a year out in 1969.
She then took up her current post in 1980 and has worked in Community Services ever since.
Diana is responsible for deploying staff, organising the training needs of the home help workers and ensuring they work to the care plans that are in the clients’ homes.
Throughout her time at the Council Diana has been involved in setting up Woodlands Lunch Club for the elderly as well as extending the Ring n Ride bus service for the area. She also does a variety of voluntary work.
