Testimonials from Footprints staff
Celebrating 20 years of Footprints
In March 2025, Footprints celebrated its 20th anniversary. To mark this special milestone, a celebratory dinner was held at The Onslow Arms and was attended by staff and directors. It was a wonderful evening filled with thoughtful gifts, heartfelt speeches, and dancing, providing a memorable celebration of 20 years of Footprints.
Staff Days Out
We believe that strong teams are built both inside and outside the workplace, which is why we regularly organise social events to bring people together. From fun evenings out at activities like crazy golf and bingo to small group dinners with managers, we create opportunities for colleagues to connect in a relaxed and informal setting. These moments help us build meaningful relationships, encourage open conversations, and ensure everyone feels part of a supportive and inclusive culture.
