We’re delighted to celebrate two incredible finalists from our East Midlands teams who represented FitzRoy at this year’s regional Great British Care Awards.

Shining a light on our Great British Care awards finalists and winners!

At FitzRoy, we knew the people we support could play a vital role in helping colleagues understand what good support really looks like - and Phillip was one of the first to step forward.

We are delighted to share that Vic Paul, one of our incredible team members at Turnbull Close care home in Dartford, has been recognised at the Kent Care Awards, winning the Residential Support Worker Award.

Debbie and Christian first met at FitzRoy's On Track day service in Petersfield around five years ago and quickly became inseparable.

When Hayley moved into her FitzRoy home a year ago, she wasn’t sure what to expect. “It has been hard sometimes,” she says “but mostly it’s been fun.”

Devon’s story highlights the impact of person-centred care, consistent relationships and strong advocacy.

Laura is 24 years old and is bubbly with a great sense of humour and a passion for anything sporty, especially football. She's a lifelong Coventry City fan but will watch almost any match that takes her fancy (as long as it's not Manchester United!). However, when Laura first moved in to our Coventry supported living home, trying new things wasn't easy for her. Her biggest fear was failing and not being able to complete tasks for herself. This made her understandably hesitant and sometimes frustrated when faced with new things.

Last week at FitzRoy, we took the time to celebrate our incredible colleagues during our annual Thank You Week.

A huge congratulations to our Supported Living team in Derby for winning our Team of the Year Award!
