Belong's Experience Day Team, which supports customers to engage in meaningful activities, were collectively awarded the Community Engagement Award.

This was for their work engaging with local community organisations - ensuring the village is a vibrant hub of the community.

One of the independent judging panel, Tabitha Moses, was delighted for Crewe Belong staff.

She said: "What stood out about the Crewe Experience Day Team was how much customers were involved in the planning of activities programme."

Lead senior support worker, Stacey Wright, won the Belinda Jones Dementia Champion of the Year Award for demonstrating 'consistently high-quality, person-centred care.'

She achieved the highest standards of dementia support - particularly in the area of end-of-life care.
