In memory of our valued friend and colleague, Steph Thompson. Steph had a flourishing career and profoundly impacted many lives. She was a care provider, a strategic commissioner, a re-designer of care pathways, an advocate and leader of people, a strategist, a collaborator, a visionary, and, most importantly, a wife and a mum to two daughters. Steph first connected with My Home Life England (part of City St George's, University of London) in 2011, before becoming Deputy Director in 2020 and was a fundamental driving force behind the team’s achievements over the last four and a half years. Steph was unique, incredibly kind and generous of heart. She always found time to support and coach her colleagues and she was always completely genuine in her interest in how people were. She had amazing talent but always wanted to empower others, and inspired multiple care leaders to stay working in social care. Her death is a huge loss and her unwavering commitment and dedication to the sector remains an inspiration to us all. As we remember Steph and the impact she had on our own lives, our thoughts of strength and love are very much with Steph’s family and friends at this difficult time.
