A care company launched its new Havering service with a special community party.
Caremark Havering, a home care company, held its official launch party at the North Street Halls, Hornchurch, on Monday, September 9.
Baljit Bains, safeguarding lawyer and managing director of the new service, said: "I've always wanted to help people and am passionate about social care in the community.
"I opened my business because I want to reach the most vulnerable people and genuinely make a positive difference to their lives.
"Opening a home care franchise made sense to me from the outset because of my legal background and family connections in the care industry.
"It's a great opportunity to be more involved with helping people and to be more hands-on than I have been before."
Caremark Havering was awarded its Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration on August 5.
It provides home care to people in the Havering area with a range of needs including dementia and disability.
