No one has reviewed this - be first!There are few things I enjoy more at Creative Support than going through our Achieve Q Award nominations.
The awards recognise staff who are aspirational, compassionate, hardworking, inclusive, effective, value-based and empowering.
We don’t often hand out gold awards but the dedication, commitment, resilience and sheer hard work of support workers Gill Parker and Suzanne Burns, without doubt, warranted the highest recognition.
They had spent months planning a holiday in Scotland with the two women they support at Rastrick in Yorkshire. The start of their holiday arrived and they drove up to Scotland in good spirits. When they reached the holiday park, though, the caravan was not what they had expected.
Despite careful research and planning over many months, the accommodation was of poor standard and was not fully accessible.
“All the cushions were wet, there was no seat in the shower, the beds were like children’s bunk beds, the floor wasn’t carpeted and there were raised screws sticking out on all the thresholds. It was really unsuitable for all of us,” said Suzanne.
The site owners were unable to offer them alternative accommodation so they had no choice but to drive all the way back to Yorkshire.
They could easily have been forgiven for shelving the holiday plans after driving to Scotland and back in a day but that’s not what Suzanne and Gillian did. With the help of the senior support worker at the service the two of them booked another holiday, came into work early the next day and set off again – this time to Blackpool.
“We had a lovely time.  We went to the circus and the zoo and went out for meals in the evening,” said Suzanne.
Their determination to make sure the people they support still had a good holiday is admirable. I am so proud we employ people who go to such great lengths to make sure the people they work with have the best time.
Gillian and Suzanne were among dozens of Creative Support staff who were recognised in our Achieve Q awards last week. They include support workers who went out of their way to make sure a stay in hospital was as comfortable as possible, those who supported relatives in times of crisis and those who, like Gill and Suzanne, showed incredible resilience and determination to make sure the people they support got the holiday they deserved. My heart-felt thanks goes out to them all.

The city of Charleston was spared much of the damage and devastation that other Civil War era cities endured during sieges because it was captures without a lot of property damage which means that its historic part features many buildings that are hundreds of years old.
The city is served by the Charleston Airport, it is located at about twelve miles from the city’s center but you can also reach the city by road and rail, however if you do land here you can employ our Charleston car rental services to have a car of your choice ready and waiting for you at the airport at an hour that you specify.
As mentioned earlier, due to it not being damaged very much during the Civil War, Charleston features many historic attractions, starting with Fort Sumter. The Fort is a National monument, located on an island, you’ll have to take a ferry ride in order to reach the ruins and the museum located there.
The Market is the old shopping district located at the base of Market Street, it’s interesting to note that vendors still sell their wares here but contrary to popular legend this was never a slave exchange, however the remnants of the old slave market can be found a few blocks away.
The Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum can be found right off the Ravenel bridge and features an impressive display of warfare in general such as the USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, the USS Clagamore submarine and a couple more interesting ships as well as a reconstruction of a Vietnam era camp.
The Citadel is a historic military college founded in 1842 which features full dress parades every Friday afternoon while school is in session. The campus is normally open to visitors who can witness the parades for free.
These are of course only a few of the things that you can see and do while in Charleston, so make sure to employ our Charleston car hire services when you’re looking to explore the city and its surroundings.

The January issue of Hobunsha's Manga Time Kirara magazine is announcing on Friday that a television anime adaptation of Ishiki's Acchi Kocchi (Place to Place) manga has been green-lit. The four-panel manga follows a tsundere (initially aloof and abrasive, but later kind-hearted) girl named Tsumiki, the most unsociable eyeglasses-wearing boy named Io, and their classmates.
Ishiki began the manga in 2006, and the fourth volume shipped this past July.

MATAMOROS, Tamaulipas — The control that organized crime has over media outlets was once again displayed in full force this weekend in this border city as the print news outlets made no mention about the capture of one of the top leaders within the Gulf cartel nor about the raging gun battles that took place the next day.
As Breitbart Texas published on Friday, Mexican authorities arrested the leader of the Ciclones group from the Gulf cartel, one of the top leaders within the criminal organization, named Angel Eduardo “El Orejon or Ciclon 7” Rodriguez Prado.
After the arrest, authorities set up a massive deployment of federal assets with air support that lasted for more than 10 hours. However, the new leadership of the Gulf Cartel (CDG) which rules over this border area, ordered print news outlets to omit any information about the Orejon.
The front pages of the local and some national news outlets that are printed in Matamoros, left out any information about Friday’s arrest or about the large scale gun battles on Saturday. The front pages of those outlets showed other stories.
Some outlets did publish information about shootouts in other nearby cities, however, no mention about Matamoros was ever made. In addition to the silence by the media, Friday’s arrest did not go unnoticed by the citizens along the border. As reported by Breitbart Texas, the day of the arrest authorities set up a massive deployment of military forces in the city including various helicopters that flew over the city for hours ready to provide air support in case of any violence.
The relevance of the events and the impact that the cartel leader had set the internet ablaze as webpages and social media users provided information about the arrests, however, print media remained silent in their print products.
The print media had been ordered silent by members of the organized crime that rules over Matamoros. The method of controlling the news is done through a person usually within the crime beat in each news outlet that is linked to cartel members. These individuals are known as the “links”
The order was that Gulf Cartel members did not want to see this information printed. The event was fully confirmed the following day when none of the print new outlets int he city published any relevant information on their front pages nor on any of their inner pages. Any news about the cartel plaza boss Angel “Ciclon 7” Prado getting arrested or the shootouts the next day were not published.
It has been several years that the editorial control about information and events relevant to the region has been controlled at will by the members of organized crime. This has been done by the established rule that there are inherent risks for those who challenge the orders.
This is why under fear of reprisals, news outlets have stopped reporting on news about any incident that may have ties to organized crime or narco-violence.
This new case of national significance was published in all the main news outlets in Mexico, however in Matamoros it stopped being relevant when it was replaced by other headlines. Despite the significance of the arrest of one of the top criminal figures, the new leadership of the CDG continues to silence news outlets.
