Let’s Pray For Social Witness recruitment
Staffing is one of the most important factors in the delivery of high-quality care throughout 
our residential and nursing homes. Post pandemic it has proved difficult to recruit staff. Pray for recruitment days coming up, that vacant posts will be filled with suitable, committed staff. Give thanks for staff teams across Social Witness who faithfully carry out their jobs, and may our residents see the love of Christ through such care.

Health and Social Care        Pray for those who work in the health and social care sector and feel under increasing pressure alongside the onset of annual winter pressures. Pray for wisdom and guidance for those making decisions in response to these challenges.
