Deserving staff rewarded
 |

FIVE employees of Andover-based Simplyhealth and HSA are set to travel to a remote part of Brazil to help build a medical centre.
At the company's Being the Difference Ball, held in Bournemouth, they were told they had won places on the trip after being nominated by their colleagues for their good work.
In October, they will go with five other Simplyhealth staff members to Calvacante, a village in the remote Kalungas region, to help the effort to set up a much-needed medical centre.
Kate Auton, who works for HSA, was nominated for the volunteer work she regularly does at the Andover hospice, while her colleague Alie Paxton won for her contribution to improving the local environment and for being a school governor.
Other winners were Simplyhealth group function employees Boyd Galloway, Jamie Jones and Gill Phipps, who was nominated in recognition of the care she has given her elderly father, as well as her work with a trust for disadvantaged children and a college PTA.
She said: "This is going to be such a real privilege to be representing Simplyhealth in Brazil.
"I'm looking forward to meeting the people of the Kalunga community, especially the children.
"It will be a real eye-opener to see what they do at school and how it compares with the six and seven-year-olds I help here."
