Greetings to Everyone at the Frances Taylor Foundation
Sr. Mary Whelan, Congregation Leader, has sent this message to everyone involved with the Frances Taylor Foundation services on 25th March 2011:
Today is a special day of celebration for The Poor Servants of the Mother of God and as you are all part of our charity I would like to extend our warmest wishes to you all.
The feast of the Annunciation, (the day when Mary was told she was to become the mother of God) was an important day for our Foundress Frances Taylor / Mother Magdalen. It is the inspiration of this feast day which underpins the Charism on which she founded the Congregation. Our values and ethos of respect for all stem from her understanding of this event.
One of Frances Taylor’s sayings for today is to 'enjoy the bright things of life to the full'. With this in mind I encourage you to share with us and celebrate the great feast on 25th March, in your own ways and in so doing remember the people of Japan, New Zealand and Libya for whom there is very little brightness just now - but it will return. We know how Frances Taylor struggled with the dark realities of life in the Crimea and on her return resolved to work at making life better and brighter for people. She did - and today her spirit lives on! Thank you for the difference that YOU make.

Frances Taylor Foundation receives IIP Award
Sandra Davies, manager of Lansdowne Road in Brighton, with Nigel Turner, Social Care Director - and the IIP award plaque.
Four services from the Frances Taylor Foundation have achieved the IPP standard and congratulation have been offered to the individual Mangers: Lisa Dowling from St Mary's Care Home in Roehampton, Natalie Hill from Laverstock Gardens in Roehampton, Sandra Davies from Lansdowne Road in Brighton and Linda Hill from Brighton and Hove Adult Homecare.
As a people-based enterprise, fulfilling a mission to meet individual needs with respect and dignity, it is essential that our staff understand the key role they play in successfully reaching the goals of the organisation. Each of the services which comprise the Frances Taylor Foundation has a considerable level of independence about how our mission is achieved, and these four services have independently met the IIP standard. We are very fortunate in the high level of personal commitment of all our staff, and their willingness to learn and develop, to reach their own potential in their work and to encourage and support the development of our customers.
