An ELLESMERE-based care company that supports older people in their homes has thanked businesses and residents who have helped supply personal protection equipment (PPE) during COVID-19.

Gemini Care Ellesmere Limited, which was founded by Penny Emberton in 2004, are part of the frontline team keeping older people safe, but like many performing these roles, have found PPE hard to come by.

But with offers of the vital bits needed – including cake – Penny thanked all those who have helped, as well as her staff, adding her pride for their work.

"Gemini Care would like to say a really big thank You to Fabdec and Carole Main for their very generous offers of PPE," she said.

"We would also like to say thank you to the many people of Ellesmere who have been in touch with us, offering us help and support in this current nightmare situation we are all living in.

"Your kind offers have been very much appreciated – especially the cake

"Team Gemini is going above and beyond in trying to keep our elderly, staff and families safe.

“We hope you all stay safe in these very uncertain times.

"We would like to thank our staff for their hard work and dedication and for the clients and their families for their continued support."
