• In Memory of Fatta Thapa – How We Made It A Success
    2026/07/31

    We are ending the year with a very special podcast episode, a tribute to Fatta Thapa. This episode was filmed earlier in the year and is the perfect acknowledgement of his success as a valued and much-loved Home Instead franchisee, but also the part he played amongst his local community.


    Fatta touched the lives of so many and made such a positive impact within his communities. From launching the charity ‘Skills & Care’, which focuses on promoting social inclusion and supporting vulnerable and isolated older people. To support for his Gurkha community, the launch of the Sunday Hub in partnership with Charlton Athletic, and Chatterbox Cafes. In this podcast, Fatta explains how his involvement in his community has contributed to his success.


    We hope that you listen to this podcast and enjoy hearing from such an inspiring man, whose legacy will continue to have a positive impact amongst his community, the Home Instead franchise network and beyond.
