We’ve won the RSPCA’s Gold PawPrint award for our fourth year running, with our pet-friendly policies enabling many residents to enjoy the companionship of pets.
This summer, our judging panel had a fantastic array of nominations to review for our annual Loving Later Life Awards. Here are the winners chosen for making a real difference in their Anchor community:
The Greatest GRANDPARENT(S) Betty James , resident at Bridge Court, Berkhamsted, was nominated by her granddaughter: “She never stops and is always thinking of others before herself. She is 80 years’ young and does the shopping for her neighbours, works as a child minder and volunteers.”
Neighbour LIKE NO OTHER
Avid LEARNER After making a short film on our Digital Voice Storytelling course, Heather Rowell from Hanover Court in Reading, is now creating another film showing others how to do the same. Heather also plans to help other residents with basic computer skills and filmmaking.
This award pays tribute to Mr and Mrs Burns at Wickham Court, Clevedon, for their neighbourliness, kindness and many things they do to support others in their community – from fundraising activities to helping those less able with shopping or trips out.
Mary Furniss from The Manor House care home in Harrogate, has mastered a special machine for those with significant eyesight problems, like Mary, to produce engaging content for the home’s monthly newsletter. Colleagues said Mary is an inspiration to other residents, proving a disability does not define who you are and, with assistance and determination, you can achieve good things.
