Belong Macclesfield Gets the Thumbs Up from Nick Robinson

Receiving praise for colleagues is always a joy and Belong is especially pleased to hear some very kind words broadcast on national radio from co-host of BBC Radio 4’s The Today Programme, Nick Robinson.

The journalism powerhouse, perhaps best known for his work as political correspondent and editor for BBC News, has spoken openly on the podcast about his mother, Evelyn, moving into Belong Macclesfield last year.

Nick recently gave a shoutout to the Bistro and Catering team for their take on Mother’s Day, offering a fine dining Sunday lunch to customers and their families which included a special congratulations to all the mothers. He said of the team: “I just thought, again, ‘these people are saints’.”

What’s more, Nick was full of praise for the whole village team at the end of 2024, naming a Christmas visit as his ‘moment of the year’. After watching a visiting pantomime and enjoying crafts together, he and his mother shared a special moment singing carols. He said: “All the panic and anxiety which is so common in people living with dementia was all gone, because of the wonderful and caring staff at Belong Macclesfield.”

A big congratulations to the whole team!
