What key people are saying + Gratitude Facts:

"Expressing gratitude is a profound sign of a relationship, and is often far more deeply appreciated than we can ever realise. It’s a positive, even a healing thing. So Gratitude Week is a wonderful opportunity to make it clear that care and service do indeed make important relationships, and that they work both ways, for giver and receiver. "

Dr Rowan Williams, Master Magdalene College Cambridge University

"My gratitude goes to Cambridge in a wide sense, because of the breadth of transition we are experiencing.In particular, I would like to recognise Dr Jane Osbourn, VP for Research & Development at MedImmune for the remarkable role she has played in making our vision for Cambridge a reality.With our talented team and the support of the Cambridge community, I am convinced we will together make a tremendous and real difference to the lives of patients in Cambridge, in the UK and around the world.”

Gratitude Week quote - Pascal Soriot, Chief Executive Officer, AstraZeneca

"I would like to thank teachers and all those involved in education everywhere for their work in helping children today so that tomorrow can be better. Societies progress by developing the values, skills, knowledge and aspirations of their young people. Schools and colleges are central to this essential task and in bringing the best out of children they enhance the future."

Ed Wiseman, Headmaster, Perse School

"I would like to express my gratitude for the hard work of city council staff whose contributions can often pass by unappreciated. They are all committed to doing their best for the city and our residents and Cambridge is a much better place as a result of their efforts."

Antoinette Jackson, Chief Executive, Cambridge City Council

“In my world of continual performance measures, it is all-too-easy to concentrate on those that require improvement rather than recognise those that continue to excel: So I would like to take this opportunity to offer my personal thanks to our employees for every time that they have “gone the extra mile” and not just delivered satisfaction but delight; thank you.”
