Asda Poole Staff & Customers Raise £530

A massive thank to the staff and Customers at Asda Poole for their lovely cheque for our Skinner Street pop in group. Rona Starling, Asda’s community Champion, presented the cheque for £530 on behalf of Asda and Bridget Barrett, Manager of PramaLIFE Poole, went to receive the cheque.

We'd like to save our biggest thank you to Linda Dixon and Diane Maton, who are the joint leaders of this very popular group. You ladies inspire us, and we hope your group plans something nice with the money.

Gender Pay Gap Reporting 2017-2018

Prama is delighted to achieve figures significantly better than the national average. In practice the average of female staff rates is actually slightly higher than the male average. This is due to there being more women filling middle management, training and administration roles, which carry pay rates above the averages for care work and shop staff. Pramacare has a predominantly female workforce with men representing only 8.5% of the total.
