Spices health and social care programmes received recognition at the Third Sector Care Awards, winning the award for Contribution to Sector Development.

The current programme in Chorley continues to work with the groups and organisations who were part of the pioneering Uplift health and social care project which started in Chorley in 2012. The judges said Time Credits are inspiring a mind-set change about the contribution that service-users can or do make, acting as a whole-systems catalyst in shifting attitudes from a deficit to an asset-based approachOther news

Other activities Coffee Club for Tatton residents get on-board with the I am campaign

The I am.. campaign was launched by Spice in Neath Port Talbot at a carers event with NPT Carers Service. The aim is to capture something of that persons identity that can be overshadowed by societys view of older people, or something they want to share that they sometimes feel is unrecognised. This could range from a miner or a singer to a chatterbox to lonely to ignored to a grandparent to a husband.2828

Other activities launch of the Spice Time Credits evaluation report.Fantastic results about the impact Time Credits are having across the country! You can see the Chorley results on Chorley Councils website by searching for Time Credits.
