Independent Lives celebrates prestigious wins at the 2024 WSPiC awards

Independent Lives’ care team has won the prestigious care team award at the highly esteemed 2024 West Sussex Partners in Care (WSPiC) awards. This significant accolade underscores the team's outstanding dedication and innovative care to individuals across the county.

The award highlights several remarkable achievements by the care team over the past year. During the winter and Christmas period, as part of the Household Support Fund, the team distributed over £29,000 worth of food vouchers to 50 care customers and 259 families in West Sussex.

In addition to this remarkable achievement, two of our dedicated staff members, Chloe Page and Nerijus Ivanauskas, were both highly commended in their respective categories.
