The Full Story
A plain summary built from the channels that reported this story.
Kate Wyatt, from Pulborough in West Sussex, has been recognised as a Hero of the Week for her community work and for running engagement projects across care homes.
She works with 10 care homes in the Premium Care Group. At the Anchorage care home in Pulborough, she organises regular arts and crafts sessions that bring residents together with local school children. The sessions are intended to give older people conversation, laughter and friendship. Residents described them as confidence-building and enjoyable.
Wyatt's 11 year old daughter, Daisy, helps with a project that takes children into care homes. Daisy said her mother is very busy but always gives her heart to everyone she can. She said her mother loves her job, works extra hours and will carry on until she cannot stop. Wyatt said caring for people comes naturally to her. She said she loves being around people and the community, and that giving something back is thoroughly enjoyable, especially when they can do it together.
Her work goes beyond her day job. She is a tireless fundraiser who gives much of her spare time to local charities. A community representative said she was key to setting up a dementia cafe and that she visits people who are lonely and socially isolated. The same representative called her a fantastic fundraiser.
Wyatt said the work is a team effort and never only about one person. She said people get to know each other well, come together for the same purpose and have achieved amazing fundraising as a result. The care homes she works with and the wider communities they serve benefit from her commitment.
As part of the recognition, she received a special heroes mug. The feature also invited viewers to nominate other people who volunteer, raise money or provide community services.
