Orwell sponsoring Suffolk Care Awards 2026

We are proudly sponsoring the Wellbeing at Work category of the Suffolk Care Awards 2026.

This year marks the 10^th edition of the awards, hosted by Care Development East to recognise and celebrate the incredible work of Suffolk’s social care sector and the local communities that continue to support it.

With 14 extra care schemes across the organisation and our commitment to supporting our colleagues, the Wellbeing at Work category felt the perfect fit for Orwell.

Wendy Evans-Hendrick, CEO of Orwell Housing Association, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring the Wellbeing at Work category of the Suffolk Care Awards.

“Ensuring people feel supported in their roles is essential for their wellbeing both at work and at home. Not only that, but it’s also integral to delivering the quality of care which makes a positive difference to people’s lives.

“By sponsoring the Suffolk Care Awards, we are proudly supporting the celebration of people who provide exceptional care across the county.”
