Nominator Karen Whitehead, CEO, says that Alison and the team have worked tirelessly throughout Covid-19. They have gone above and beyond their usual roles and job descriptions to meet demand and ensure all our clients and volunteers have been supplied with food, activity or wellbeing parcels. In addition to practical support, the team have also supported people emotionally. As soon as the team could demonstrate Covid secure procedures, they were back face-to-face (socially distanced of course), doing what they do best, supporting people in either a mentoring or befriending capacity.
