Over the weekend, the Lisieux Trust proudly stood among the finest in the Care Sector at the prestigious GB Care Awards held in Birmingham. The event, which brought together nearly 500 individuals, was a celebration of excellence and dedication in the field.

Lisieux Trust Senior Support Worker Emma McEvilly was nominated for the Support Worker of the Year award for the second time in just three years. Her tireless efforts and unwavering dedication to the well-being of our residents and tenants have not only touched the lives of the individuals she supports but have also earned her this well-deserved recognition.

Emma was accompanied by Trust Operations Manager Alison O’Meara, Registered Manager Denise Barrett, Manager Mikey Gavin, and Media and Communications Officer Andy Thorley.

Alison O’Meara and Andy Thorley also assumed the role of judges at the awards. Among the highlights of the evening was the opportunity to meet with Roksana Drzewicka, the recipient of the Newcomer Award in the West Midlands Region. Andy remarked: “Her story really resonated with us, but honestly, everyone who was nominated deserved to be recognised.”

The Regional Awards ceremony was a heartwarming gathering, filled with stories of dedication, compassion, and resilience. The winners in each category will now advance to the National Finals, scheduled to take place at the ICC in the New Year.

The Lisieux Trust extends its heartfelt congratulations to Emma McEvilly and all the nominees and winners at the National Care Awards.
