Chief Executive Lou Bainbridge said:

“Our annual staff awards are the biggest event in our staff calendar and certainly one of the most important. The dedication and commitment our staff demonstrate ever day needs to be recognised and the awards is a wonderful way of colleagues and members of the public to put nominate those colleagues who they feel deserved some special recognition."

Sarah Butters, Children and Young People’s Practitioner and winner of our ‘Rising Star Award, said: “It’s nice to be recognised, we all work hard, and we all make a difference to the families that we work with, and that’s what it’s all about.”

The awards also celebrated Small Steps Big Changes (SSBC), honouring them with a new award for this year, the ‘Special Recognition Award’. After ten years of providing support for new parents and young children, the programme comes to an end next year. As she presented the award, Chief Executive Lou Bainbridge said: “There’s no doubt their work will leave a long-lasting impact on the communities they serve.”

Congratulations to all our nominees, shortlisted and winners.
