Celebrating 20 years with the Aldingbourne Trust

On Friday 8th May one of our esteemed colleagues, Nicki Goble, reached a milestone in her time with the Aldingbourne Trust and she has now been with us for 20 years! 

Through that time Nicki has seen some incredible changes in social care and has put her heart and soul into ensuring the people with learning disabilities are empowered to lead the lives that they want to lead, with fun and compassion around them.

She has witnessed the progression of residential care within the Trust; being a key part of its transformation into the holistic, person-centred model which gives the people we support dignity and respect, as well as promoting independence and achieving dreams. 
​
“Nicki always worked hard to ensure the principles we live by at the Trust were embodied in our work together at our supported living services. She believes passionately that the people in our care lead rich and full lives and Nicki certainly role models this in her approach to life; keeping active, healthy and well, having fun and finding fulfilment. Nicki led from the front, being a staunch advocate for the health and well-being of her colleagues and those we support, she kept the conversations going about the latest in healthy eating and keeping fit enjoying walks in the countryside. I really hope Nicki is able to mark this milestone at the Trust in suitable style, in a socially distanced way of course.” Dave Wyatt

“Having worked with Nicki for 3 and a bit years I would say I was always impressed with her ability to pursue what she believed to be right; not afraid to challenge those around her- even when those were delicate relationships to maintain like those with family if she believed it to be in the best interests of the people she was supporting. Nicki brought a lot of light and laughter to meetings and was always up for something social!” Lu Dash

Congratulations Nicki, here’s to many more years with us!
