We were so pleased to learn that our news was featured in a local newspaper, who quoted our very own Stacey Barry as saying:“Being nominated for the inspirational award was a complete surprise, but to be shortlisted and then win was overwhelming.
There are lots of devoted carers, all over the UK that are unrecognised and undervalued everyday.
This award reminds them that everything you do can make a difference, to encourage all carers and let them know that people do notice what you do and appreciate all your hard work.”
