Oluchi Okoroafor’s emotional win at the Black Healthcare Awards 2025, hosted by the Caribbean & African Health Network - CAHN, was more than a trophy — it was a celebration of resilience, hope, and heart.

Named Support Worker of the Year, Oluchi was honoured for her unwavering dedication, compassionate care, and the incredible journey she’s walked — both professionally and personally.

Her daughter Miracle’s recovery, her academic success, and Oluchi’s passion for helping others make her story one of true inspiration. 💙

Now studying for a master’s in Adult Nursing at the University of Salford, Oluchi continues to uplift those around her, proving that excellence is found in the quiet, consistent acts of care.

By identifying shared brain networks, this research paves the way for integrated treatments that could improve patient outcomes and save millions.

Thanks to generous donations, we’ve funded a brand-new Salonserve 3-section electric beauty bed for the Skin Camouflage Service at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust! 🏥 🧡👏

The Skin Camouflage Service, part of our Core Therapies Department, is being reintroduced to support patients with burn injuries by teaching them how to apply specialist camouflage cosmetics to affected areas of their skin. This can make a huge difference to a person’s confidence, self-esteem and daily life.

This new electric bed will ensure patients feel comfortable and supported throughout their sessions, while also helping therapists provide the best possible care.

✨ Most importantly, it means patients can focus on feeling relaxed, supported and empowered during their treatment.

Thank you so much to everyone who donates to us - your kindness makes projects like this possible, helping to transform services and improve patients’ lives 🥰
