Penny volunteered last minute to support a service user on a week long holiday as the allocated staff who was meant to go on holiday was unwell and could not go. Penny demonstrated her passion for the role in not wanting resident to miss out.
Caitlin supported me as I felt nervous during an incident. She stayed with me the entire time to make me feel safe until the service user appeared calmer and more settled. She helped me nurse my wounds by bringing me a wipe and being very caring.

I would like to nominate Claire, for her hard work for the service during the pandemic. She has worked tirelessly to provide an amazing variety of activities that provide education, relaxation or entertainment. She’s made a real difference and impact.
Emily noticed a resident’s teddy needed fixing. We didn’t have a sewing kit at service and so she brought her own sewing kit in to fix it. She wasn’t supporting this resident that day, she made time in her day to fix it and it made the resident so happy.
