Worcester's Sanctuary Supported Living up for national award

The organisation provides accommodation and personalised support to individuals with learning or physical disabilities.

They are finalists in four different categories at this years awards.

The awards pay tribute to those providing the best quality care and support to individuals with learning disabilities, acknowledging excellence in this field.

Sanctuary Supported Living is up for both the Supported Housing award and the Employer award, indicating the level of commitment and quality found in their learning disability services.

In addition, their teams at Kempsfield in Shrewsbury, and Wimborne House in Gravesend, have the privilege of being shortlisted for the Supporting Older People with Learning Disabilities award and the Frontline Leader award.

This acknowledgement reflects the team's efforts in helping residents build their life skills and confidence to live as independently as possible.

Sanctuary Supported Living’s director, Dave Shaw, expressed his pride for his team's work, saying: "I couldn’t be more proud of our teams for being shortlisted as finalists for the Learning Disabilities and Autism awards.

"People with learning disabilities often struggle to secure suitable housing and the right care and support.

"That’s why we’re committed to providing high-quality services that champion independence, choice, and inclusion.

"Being named as finalists in four categories is an amazing recognition of this – as well as the hard work and dedication that our staff put into supporting customers."

"This success also comes hot on the heels of Sanctuary Supported Living colleagues being named as finalists in the upcoming Housing with Care Awards, so it’s a wonderful time for showcasing the achievements of our teams in the supported housing industry, and the massive difference they’re making to people’s lives."

The award ceremony will be held on June 21 at Birmingham ICC.
