Meet the York Team

(from left to right - Shirley, Janet & Kat)

 

"Hello there! My Name is Janet Godfrey and I operate the Motivation & Co service in the York area. I came across Motivation & Co by accident or by chance! I found the website and gave head office a call. It all sounded so interesting I decided to go and view a class to see for myself what effects a motivation class could have and was completely blown away by the whole experience."

 

"I know that with my wealth of experience in Mental Health and my years of working within customer care environments with people from all walks of life, I am bringing a lot of skills to the Motivation & Co programme."

 

"Together the York Team delivers over 60 of these enjoyable therapeutic classes a month to care homes in the YO postcode area. We are currently developing and expanding the service, so that it is available to all the care homes in the YO postcode area – that’s the whole of North and East Yorkshire, with a view to expanding into the Hull area."

 

"I always gain enormous satisfaction from seeing the difference we are making to peoples' lives. I know from what I have experienced so far that following a Demonstration Class the homes are as enthusiastic as I was when I first saw the motivation class with the effect it has on their residents. I am really keen to spread the word of what Motivation & Co has to offer to your homes – and look forward to working with you!"

 

"If you would like to see this service in your care home, we start off with a demonstration class which is at a discounted rate. The purpose of the demonstration class allows you to view the class, meet us and see for yourselves the response we get from your residents. If you would like more information, please call me."

"I thoroughly enjoy the Motivation Class and it’s lovely to see the great effect it has on all the other residents - everyone gets something out of it – we’re stimulated both physically and mentally as the class involves us all having to think a little and move a little. Thank you!"

"As well as the Motivation & Co Classes being loads of fun and very stimulating, the exercises have really benefitted me as I'm now able to move my fingers easily whereas before one of my fingers was very stiff and wouldn't move at all!"
