 | | b) Complex needs

 | | d) Care of older people

Who is going beyond the rhetoric and sloganising about dignity of care for older people? This award aims to pinpoint where this is being achieved and to celebrate it.

 | | e) Housing and regeneration

Effective neighbourhood regeneration and community cohesion schemes have housing at their core. We want to hear from teams that are going the extra mile in supported housing or general needs.
