Your Choice Social Centre at the Norfolk Care Awards
Covering North Walsham, Aylsham and surrounding villages in association with the Cromer Times and Sheringham Independent
Your Choice Social Centre in North Walsham was nominated for the 'Outstanding Achievement' award at the Norfolk Care Awards, along with 16 other companies and were delighted to be shortlisted to the last four, thereby receiving an invitation to the awards ceremony hosted by television favourite Helen Lederer.
Representatives were both shocked and stunned when the announcement was made that the Centre had in fact won the award presented by Norman Lamb - a very proud moment in only their second year.
Your Choice was set up due to another local care provider choosing to close a previous centre that Your Choice owners Paul Goldsmith and Paul Scott worked at. The closure meant that ten people with learning disabilities had no centre to use within the immediate locality and so the two Pauls decided to throw caution to the wind and open something in its place. They used just some small redundancy payments to fund the project and managed to have the new centre operational in just three weeks.
Their hard work, determination and dedication to giving the members of the centre an environment that they could feel at home in and be a real part of was quickly rewarded when existing members wanted to increase their time at the centre and new members began joining.
