Residents celebrated at awards ceremony

Last week, we celebrated our involved residents at our London region Resident Involvement and Celebration Awards (RICA) ceremony in Wembley.

Attended by over 100 residents and staff, the awards ceremony enabled us to thank those residents who have gone the extra mile; driving forward service improvement for the benefit of all residents.

Sarah Tickner, Community Engagement and Investment Manager, said, “These awards are our way of recognising the important contribution that our involved residents make, both in their local communities and in the way that we run our services.

“We are always keen to work with our residents and these awards showcase just some of the opportunities that are available.”
