We know that you are doing an incredible job, going above and beyond to help our members, customers and fellow colleagues, whilst adapting to this ever-changing and challenging time.
We want to share your stories of giving a thumbs up with other colleagues to keep morale high and to show that as co-operators we’re all in this together as team Midcounties. ‘Thumbs Up’ is our way of celebrating all your heroic efforts by sharing your great work and giving other colleagues the ability to like it.
Our Thumbs Up Weekly Round Up 👍🎄✨🎅
Kingswinford Food store had a fantastic half-hour with the food bank team volunteers in Kingswinford Church who have worked so hard since March. We presented a family of five (3-year-old Sophie in the picture, and also an 8-year-old and 13-year-old who were both still at school) all had their presents and the mom and dad had 2 big bags of Xmas food essentials.
Well done to Lee and the team at Kingswinford Food store! 👏😊🎄👍
Handing over the donation we made to reverend Emily from St Michals Church in Hightworth. Her and her team are putting together 50 food parcels and delivering this Wednesday to families that have been picked out by local schools who are struggling due to job losses during this difficult year. She has received donations from us the local greengrocer and the church members. Value of the goods we donated came to £201.96.
Well done to Sean and the team at Brewery Street Food store 👏👍😊🎄
"The toys have now gone to our referral and assessment team to allocate to our most vulnerable families this Christmas, this generous donation really will make such a difference to some of our young carers lives. As you know this year has been incredibly hard for so many families and the joy from a new toy is priceless." Gloucestershire Young Carers toy donations from Coleford Food store🌈👍👏😊
Customer compliment for Stourport Food store/Danny Maddox👏😊👍
"Just a quick email to let you know we received a fantastic compliment today about the service given to home delivery customers at Stourport food. The customer Ms Insall said that she couldn’t manage without their help, nothing is too much trouble and the team go over and above supporting the customers at need.
Ms Insall also mentioned Danny saying what a fantastic young manager he was – wise beyond his years and goes out of his way to make sure she is ok and staying safe in these difficult times."

We want you to share a picture of yourself and/or your team with your thumbs up and include a sentence outlining why you’ve given yourself, your team or a team member a ‘thumbs up’ today, along with the hashtag #TeamMC.
E.g. it could be some great customer feedback you’ve had for going above and beyond. Or something you’ve done to help the community that they’re proud of. Or just that the team is Okay.
