"I have worked for Rowleys for 19 years. I enjoy meeting, interacting, and reminiscing with people who come into the Rowleys Community Centre. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family."

Meet our wonderful cleaner, a true gem of our team! Her friendly nature and attention to detail bring a sense of warmth and comfort to every corner she touches. Always smiling and dedicated, she ensures that every space not only looks spotless but feels welcoming too. Her positivity and work ethic make her an essential part of what makes our environment so pleasant. We are lucky to have someone who takes such pride in their work and spreads kindness along the way!

"I try and visit the centre 2-3 times a week and always feel welcome".

 

Patricia has helped Rowleys for many years - being involved with Rowleys keeps her busy and involved (and her daughters tell her 'out of mischief'!). She never has time to feel bored or lonely - something that Rowleys often helps with.
