COVENTRY Job Shop coaches have raised over £300 for the Myton Hospices in memory of their ‘kind’ colleague and friend, Roy Cadman, who passed away earlier this year.
Roy’s role as a Job Coach focused on working with clients who required ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) to help give them the best chance of getting into employment.
He also dedicated 26 years of his life to the Navy and was promoted to Petty Officer shortly before his passing.
He was well known for bringing in snacks and treats to share with his clients and work friends.
Following his passing after illness, members of the team decided to raise the cash to help others at Myton Hospices who required care.
Cara Evans, Employment Link Officer at the Job Shop said: “Roy, I am not sure where to start.
“I will never be able to put into words how much impact you have had on the lives of the customers that have come into the Job Shop looking for support with their English.
“From the first time you shared with me your diagnosis to this very moment, our work relationship has developed into a friendship in the most difficult of circumstances.
“Despite this, I have learnt from you every day, and will continue to learn from the work you have done. Your kindness, I will always remember. Thank you Roy. For everything, especially your friendship”.
