Orbis Education and Care has won three awards at the Wales finals of this year’s Great British Care Awards.
Cartref Mynydd, located in Pontarddulais on the outskirts of Swansea, took home the Housing with Care award. Its team was recognised for their approach to creating an inclusive environment, working closely with each person in their care to ensure activities are person-centred and meaningful.
Two team members from Dan y Coed home, which is based in Swansea Bay, were also named as winners in their categories. Sean Jones was awarded the Care Newcomer award while Jade Evans took home the Care Home Worker award. Sean was commended for his commitment to the young people in his care, going above and beyond to build meaningful connections with them to support their growth. The judges recognised Jade for her unwavering dedication and commitment to making each day brighter for the young people in her care and becoming a positive presence in their lives.
Orbis Education and Care operates several schools, day services, and residential facilities across Wales, supporting children and adults with complex needs linked to autism.
