Care For Life is a Christian Charity, whose Patron is HRH The Countess of Wessex GCVO.
The charity provides life long care to a wide variety of adults of all ages. The care services which the charity offers ranges from residential provisions for deeply vulnerable people, run from two properties based in Leeds, to the support of more than 250 people at any given time in their own homes.
Alongside care services which the charity provides, the housing support team also deliver therapeutic care for up to 60 people each day at the residential home based at Crag House Farm, in Cookridge Leeds.
As part of the charity’s conservation project, the team and people which the project supports, have taken-up bee keeping to build upon individual wellbeing and happiness.
Members of the Care For Life team purchased four apiarist suits online for the project before coming to BJ Sherriff. All four suits had disintegrated, with zips failing and tearing after first use. The staff needed to identify a reputable and reliable supplier of good quality suits and equipment. A volunteer of the project recommended BJ Sherriff.
We were really thrilled to help the people involved in the project.
Peter Parkinson, co-founder of the charity, said: “The response I received was enormously gratifying.
“I was connected to a lady who was immensely helpful, not at all frustrated by my total ignorance of all things apiaristic and advised me with an extraordinary lack of partiality as to the best way forward. To say we have found this company to be helpful would be the understatement – they have been magnificent.
“The products we ordered were delivered in exceptionally good time and have proved to be absolutely superb. The suits have been brilliant and more than capable of the wear and tear to which they are being subjected at Caring For Life.
“In B J Sherriff we have found our suppliers and I would imagine this is a relationship that will stand for not just years but generations to come.”
