Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership for Care (CWPC) annual awards seek to recognise and celebrate the hard work and dedication demonstrated every day in the region’s Social Care sector.

Helping Hands Home Care has been providing domiciliary care since 1989. Still a family run business the company now provides over 5,500 hours of hourly care per week throughout Warwickshire and Worcestershire and supports over 180 clients with Live-In care across England and Wales. Helping Hands also provide a “Rapid Response” service to South Warwickshire Social Services, when short term Live-In care is needed.

The Care Business award is sponsored by the Royal Bank of Scotland and the criteria is based on how an organization has enabled staff to fulfill its potential through development and learning, how the organization has engaged with service users and other stakeholders, how business needs are met by workforce development and how the organization has benefited.

Helping Hands was one of eight award winners at this year’s Voice of Care ceremony at a special ceremony in Fillongley, Warwickshire on Thursday 12th July.  The ceremony formed part of the fourth Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership for Care conference, attended by about 200 delegates from care providers, support agencies and training providers. 

Ilze Careless Registered Manager said:

“As a major local employer we are delighted that we have been officially recognized by our peers for the quality of care we provide across the region. This is a testimony to the hard work of all our carers and employees. This third award in two years coupled by our excellent recent CSCI Inspection report demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing the best possible home care, whether Hourly or Live-in, to those wishing to maintain in their own homes.”

Mary Lee, founder of Helping Hands said:

“I’m delighted to accept this award on behalf of all the staff at Helping Hands.  Being named Care Business of the year recognizes the great effort, both the office team and the carers at Helping Hands have put into delivering the best possible service for our customers.   Our service users remain at the heart of what we do and we are always trying to improve the service for them, receiving this award from Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership in Care recognizes that we are continuing to achieve this.”
