Good Neighbour: Retirement Living/ Extra Care
John received numerous heartfelt nominations for his consistent support and selflessness. Always ready to assist anyone in need, he helps out with offering rides, moving furniture, and organising the weekly bingo with a smile.

Angel’s positivity created an uplifting environment for others, making her a great member of the crew.
Personal Achiever
Hollie, previously a Kickstart pre-apprentice with our Communities team, faced challenges finding employment at the end of her placement, which left her feeling unmotivated.

Jamie’s commitment to West Raven Community Garden as a volunteer has been outstanding. He applies himself to gardening with a strong work ethic, dependability, and a sharp focus on safety. His involvement in projects and public events significantly contributed to their success and it wouldn’t have been possible without him. Jamie is our deserving winner for being so committed and caring.
