Hi Im Claire Registered Home Care Manager here at Alcedo Care Wigan and St Helens.

Rugby league is a massive part of my home and work life, I am the Team Manger of my Sons rugby team Spring View U8s and its fantastic seeing the boys and girls enjoying the sport.
Work wise I enjoy bringing customers together through my love of the sport, we have attended both Wigan Warriors and St Helens reminiscence sessions.
