Why Cherishers?
“Cherishers are the bridge to getting people back to work.”
There is a major crisis in the UK due to a lack of employment and social care. This sadly has a major effect on the elderly and most vulnerable within our society the most. Cherishers has been created to provide equal employment opportunities within the area for local people who are currently unemployed and have barriers to normal employment opportunities.
Among their team are members who have disabilities, working mom’s, pensioners and people getting back into work who have previously experienced barriers to traditional employment. By using their services, you are helping them invest in them and their future.
Cherishers provides domestic and commercial ironing and cleaning service for Rugeley and the surrounding area. Through the profits generated from these commercial activities Cherishers are able to provide free home assistance, Social Care community services to the elderly and societies most vulnerable members.
Through the profits generated from the commercial side of the business, they are empowered to pay their Social Carers to go out and meet the needs of the vulnerable elderly free of charge.
