“We are basically a Farmers’ Market online,
delivering produce right to our customers’
doors, sometimes even by bicycle. We get
our milk from Jess’s Ladies Organic, a tiny
dairy farm surrounded by clover meadows.
It started off with just two cows called
Bluebell and Gypsy back in the 1950s
but is now producing prize-winning milk,
cream and yoghurt for dozens of
customers each week. Our customers
really like to know exactly where our
food and drink comes from, and they love
the fact it’s almost all local. Anyone from
Teddies, past and present, would of course,
always be welcome to drop in.” To find

Thomas Haddock (H, 2001-2006)
writes: “Amantani is small charity and our
predominant focus is on youth education
in remote parts of Peru as such we are
always keen to get involved with schools,
particularly in the local area. I was awarded
the position as part of the Vodafone World
and varied programme of activities. The
importance of inspirational leadership, and
the development of high quality and equal
relationships between all those involved,
also emerge as critical areas of focus in the
provision of outstanding services.
Claremont has added the outcomes
of the research to its programme of day
service activities, further developing creative
methods of meeting older people’s needs
and designing and delivering training and
guidance. Furthermore, Claremont and
a range of other organisations across the
country have formed a national Flourishing
Lives coalition, which will soon publish
a National Charter for Outstanding Day
Services. This charter will help service
providers, older people using these services,
as well as those helping to fund them,
identify best practices and use them as a
guide to set and exceed expectations.
For further information about
Claremont, please contact Paul Stanfield at
of Difference scheme which gives 500
people each year the funding to work at
their chosen charity; over 10,000 apply.
