Georgina-Kate Laird

What is your background prior to joining Radfield?

7 years ago I joined the “Getting Together” team of Watford and Three Rivers trust as an activities coordinator. Whilst there I provided fun activities for their over 55 social clubs around Watford and Three rivers. During the pandemic, Watford and Three rivers trust helped allocate volunteers to those in need.

After working for the Trust for 6 years, I decided to start my own business, teaching chair Based exercise in the local community and working along side other charities. This is something I still do today, along side planning wonderful activities for the clients of the Adult Day Care Centre.

How has your background prepared you for your new role at RHC?

I feel that my background has given me a wealth of knowledge regarding how to work with people. How to really listen and how to create a safe environment for them to come and socialize.

What has inspired you to want to be involved in the adult social care sector?

I was really close to my Grandma and I wanted to be the sort of person that she would talk about fondly if she had a carer or had been to a Day Care Centre.

How do you feel your role, and your experience, will benefit Radfield’s clients?

I believe that I can help them create memories, laugh, learn and have fun. I want to enable them to enjoy life as much as they can.
