Our amazing staff took centre stage as we held our second fabulous awards evening!.
We welcomed television personality and former politician Ed Balls as our special guest to present the awards at the Crown Spa Hotel in Scarborough.
The awards were presented to recognise the care delivered by staff across our centres in Scarborough, Whitby and Pickering.
Saint Cecilia’s Executive Chairman Mike Padgham said: “We did it again!
“After the amazing success of last year’s awards we have had another wonderful evening celebrating the care our staff have delivered over the past 12 months!
“After he was unable to make it due to Storm Babet last year, we were delighted to welcome Ed Balls as our special guest, alongside Scarborough and Whitby MP Alison Hume, the Charter Mayor, Councillor Janet Jefferson, and many other guests, for a fantastic evening.
“A huge thank you to them and to all our supporters for making it a very special evening. All in all, it was a wonderful celebration of Saint Cecilia’s staff and a wonderful celebration of social care.”
Guests enjoyed a delicious three-course dinner and dancing as well as the presentation of the awards. They also said hello to two alpacas from Butterwick Alpaca Retreat.
The evening was supported by Hull-based catering supplies specialists Turner Price, alongside other supporters Beaucare, Apetito, Capsticks, Mitchells, Phil France Plumbing and Heating, Clothing for Work, Dan Close CCTV & Fire Ltd, Focus Hygiene Supplies, Earzz, East Coast Fire, October 16, Practical Networks, The Hideout and Neat Flooring.
