Excellence for Carers Award
Posted on 28th February 2023
On Wednesday 28th February Stirling Carers Centre was notified that it had achieved the Carers Trust Excellence for Carers Award.
This award is the result of a thorough assessment of the organisation, how support is provided, how Carers are involved, the organisation’s partnership working, and how Unpaid Carers are promoted in the wider community. Carers were involved in the assessment process to give their views on how the Centre is performing. The assessment report from Carers Trust highlighted the Centre’s commitment to supporting Unpaid Carers, and the team’s ability to see Carers as individuals, to recognise each Carer’s individual circumstances and support needs, and to provide tailored services.
Helen Oliver, Carers Trust’s Quality Assurance and Improvement Manager, said: “We are really pleased to be able to present Stirling Carers Centre with the Excellence for Carers Award. The whole team demonstrated their commitment to providing services that really met Carers’ needs, we were able to hear first-hand from Carers about the positive impact of the services provided and the life-changing difference accessing the support has made. We very much look forward to seeing their services continue to prosper.”
Colleen McGregor, CEO of Stirling Carers Centre, said “Achieving this award affirms the Centre’s ongoing commitment to Stirling’s Carers, and we are delighted to have our team’s high standard of support and care recognised in this way. Thank you to all the Carers who were involved in the assessment process and spoke so highly of the support they received. We’d also like to thank the assessors for the time they invested with us, and for the helpful feedback and suggestions for developments that could help improve support even further.”
