Diagrama Foundation is celebrating after winning three awards at the Bromley Adult Care Awards, while also reaching the finals and being highly commended in several other categories, reflecting the dedication and compassion of staff who support people with learning disabilities and additional needs.
At the awards event at Bromley Football Club, on 12 March, the charity won the Team, Dignity in Care, and Care Worker Awards, highlighting the exceptional work being carried out across its services.
Redhill Supported Living Service was recognised with the Team Award for its exceptional compassion, resilience, and professionalism during an extraordinarily challenging year. Throughout multiple complex and emotionally demanding situations, the team consistently demonstrated outstanding teamwork, strong partnership working and a deep commitment to person-centred care.
The second award was for Lorraine Ward, from the Brewery Road Supported Living Service who won the Care Worker Award. She received the award for her remarkable patience, warmth and commitment and her outstanding support for individuals whose routines, preferences, and personalities truly matter.
The third award went to Alison Spry from Cabrini House in Orpington, who received the Dignity in Care Award. Her award recognised the thoughtful and respectful way she approaches her work every day and her deep and practical understanding of what dignity means in care. Her contribution is rooted in empathy, reflection, and genuine respect for the rights and individuality of the people she supports.
Diagrama Foundation had more finalists than any other care provider across the London Borough of Bromley. In addition to the three award wins, several employees and services were also highly commended in their categories. Those recognised included Beth Maina, Manager of Diagrama’s Supported Living Service, for the Workforce Development Award; Claire Morlham from Cabrini House, for the Manager Award; Vinson Close and Cabrini House for the Team Award; Beenish Alam, from Cabrini House for the Worker Award and Marina Rubio, Head of Professional Standards, for the Diane Smith Award.
David McGuire, Chief Executive of Diagrama Foundation, said he was delighted to see the team recognised. “It is wonderful to see our colleagues recognised with three award wins and six
commendations at the Bromley Adult Care Awards. These achievements are incredibly well deserved and reflect the compassion, professionalism, and dedication our staff show every single day.
“The work carried out by the Redhill team, Alison, and Lorraine truly demonstrates the values of person-centred care and respect that sit at the heart of Diagrama Foundation.
“I am also incredibly proud of every other Diagrama colleague and team who reached the finals of the Bromley Care Awards, as well as the many dedicated staff across the charity who continue to make a positive difference to people’s lives every day.”
