We’re thrilled to share that we’ve raised a wonderful amount that will help us give back to those who use our services – thank you to everyone who made it possible! 💙

It was such a joy to see our amazing staff (even those popping in between shifts!), family members of our staff, our lovely service users, and their supportive families. Your smiles truly made the day! 🥰

A huge thank you to everyone who tried their luck on our tombola – your support means the world. 🎟️💫

🌟 A Huge Thank You to Staffordshire County Council 🌟

We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Staffordshire County Council for making the Dignity in Care Awards possible again this year. 💛 These awards are not just a ceremony—they are a vital platform for recognising the unsung heroes of our health and social care system: our care workers.

Too often, those in care roles go unnoticed because of their job titles—but make no mistake, they are the backbone of our care system. Their compassion, resilience, and quiet dedication keep lives dignified, safe, and connected every single day.

Care work is something to be immensely proud of. It deserves celebration, visibility, and respect. Without care workers, we have nothing—and it's time we shine a light on their incredible contributions.

👏 Let’s continue to honour them, uplift them, and say thank you—not just today, but every day.

✨ We’re so proud of our amazing team at The Staffordshire Dignity Awards this evening! ✨

A huge congratulations to:
🏆 Fran – Newcomer to Care
🏆 Emma & Naline – End of Life / Palliative Care Dignity Champions

Your compassion, dedication, and dignity in care are truly inspiring – this recognition is so well deserved! 💙

We also want to give a massive shoutout to Shannon and Ellie, who were nominated for their incredible contributions. While they didn’t take home awards this time, being recognised is a huge achievement and a testament to the amazing work they do every day. We’re incredibly proud of you both! 🌟

And of course, to our wider team – whether nominated or not – your hard work, kindness, and commitment to dignified care do not go unnoticed. These awards represent everything we stand for, and you’re all a part of that.

Tonight we celebrate Fran, Emma, Naline, Shannon & Ellie – but we’re proud of ALL of you, always. 👏💙

🎓🌟 We are incredibly proud of our amazing care worker, Ellie! 🌟🎓

A huge congratulations to her for graduating from Birmingham University with a degree in Criminology! 🎉

This is such a fantastic achievement, and we are absolutely thrilled for her. Ellie’s dedication, hard work, and passion shine through in everything she does—not just in her studies, but also in the care she provides every day. 💙

Here are some photos Ellie has consented to us sharing of her with her relatives on her special day.

Well done, Ellie! We couldn’t be more pleased for you. Here’s to a bright future ahead! 🎓👏✨

7 days to go 😃 Trialled putting up the gazebo today... practice will make perfect. Pop up gazebos aren't as easy as they appear to be! Aside from "gazebo gate" we really are very excited and can't wait to be part of such a fabulous event. We truly are very grateful to Burntwood Town Council for having us 🥰 All monies raised from our tombola will be used to give back a little something to those who use our service. In care homes and nursing homes it is far easier to arrange day trips, treats, speciality days / evenings and it is less common in domiciliary care. Well this is where we want to make a change to that, here's to moving forward and planning ahead 😀

🌞 7 days to go until the Burntwood Wakes Festival! 🌞

The Best Fun Entertainments will be joining us again this year and bringing with them a selection of inflatable fun! There will be a 70ft ultimate challenge, 30ft slide and a jungle assault course, and because we can't say it enough... all of the rides are FREE!

With huge thanks to our sponsors Lichfield District Council, M Core, The Noel Sweeney Foundation, Roadtech Cutting Services Ltd, Crown Highways and The Drill Inn for supporting the Wakes this year.
