#TakeaSophie – We Need YOU!

A local 4 year old girl, Sophie Taylor, is facing a brave battle against cancer. She has osteosarcoma in her knee and another tumour higher up her femur, which could ultimately result in having an amputation. The cancer has also spread to her lungs in 3 places.

Premier are currently in the process of arranging for Paralympian David Hill to visit Sophie in hospital, in the hope to inspire and give her hope and optimism for the future.

Sophie’s story touched us, and as a children’s activity provider, we wanted to go the extra mile and utilise our network of Franchisees and Activity Professionals to help raise awareness of her JustGiving page.

How to Get Involved

It takes just a few seconds to take a selfie – or in this case #TakeaSophie. Simply upload a photo of you “sticking your tongue out to cancer” to Facebook or Twitter with the hashtag #TakeaSophie and this link - https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/superstrongsophie

Please help us raise awareness across the country for this brave local girl.

Valentine’s Day is Coming... Appreciate Your Colleagues!

Has someone delivered that WOW factor this year? Worked really hard or just deserves a little thank you?

Make your business futureproof by showing how much you care.

Now is your time to express that appreciation for your colleagues! This can be anyone in the business; for your staff, neighbouring franchisees or anyone from head office.

For just £1 per message the Premier Foundation will deliver this Valentines themed note to your prized one.

All messages will be distributed during the NTE awards dinner for a loving little read, a giggle and some fun! For those that aren’t attending the dinner we can send via email for you to inspire and thank your colleagues.

Please send over your messages before the 14th February and money will be collected at the event or via VirginMoney if you’re sending a digital valentines message. Please send your appreciation messages to: [email protected]

Premier Wellbeing CQI Webinar - Don’t Miss It!

Good News...

Premier are extremely proud of the lengths and depths we go to, to ensure that the quality of our services and standards of delivery are of a consistent, high standard and are continually developed.

To ensure this happens across all of our programmes, we have recently devised and created our quality observation templates for all of our wellbeing products - PLAY, FUN & FIT!

On 12/02/18 we will be hosting a webinar @ 10:00am to introduce these templates, answer questions and offer guidance on the best use of these templates - This will also be a great opportunity for us to get feedback from you so we can make sure these really meet the requirements of the network.

We look forward to speaking with you and supporting you to develop and improve your wellbeing products and also developing your wellbeing workforce.
