‘Sadly, we all know of someone close to us who has availed of the services at Milford and it is through acts of kindness like yours, that Milford can provide its care and support to patients and their families,’ said John.
Kathryn Clancy, Manager of the LYS’ Community Training Centre echoed John’s sentiments and thanked the learners, especially those with the restaurant project of the Catering Skills Course for leading by example.
