EMERGENCY services were given a boost earlier this month, thanks to a Lower Earley care home.
Austen House has announced that any parademics, nurses, police officers and other emergency workers who need a breather can pop in for free refreshments.
Staff at the centre say it’s a way of showing appreciation for their work and helping them when they don’t have time to go home or to their workplace.
Seva Hashimova, general manager of the care home, said: “To say thank you for all of the great work our emergency services do for us, we here at Austen House are inviting all members of the police, ambulance and fire services to pop in and take their duty break on us for free.
“We are pleased to offer all of our local service workers who stop in tea, coffee, juice, chilled water, delicious homemade cake and biscuits and a healthy selection of fruit, available free of charge.
“Our comfortable facilities include free Wi-Fi and service with a smile; do stop in and say hi, we would be delighted to see you.”
