LifeCare shortlisted for two ScottishPower Foundation Awards 2024

LifeCare is delighted to share that we have been shortlisted in not just one, but two categories in the 10^th annual ScottishPower Foundation Awards 2024.

Our fabulous Community Café, CafeLife, has been shortlisted for an award in the Community Engagement Category, which recognises the work of charities who have made a positive impact to both their immediate target group and the wider community, working in partnership to enact long-lasting change.  CaféLife is the heart of the local community and provides a safe place where lots of people from the local community can meet, eat, chat, and feel as though they belong. On any given day CaféLife is a hub of activity and visited by all generations benefitting from a friendly, fully accessible, welcoming space.

Our much-loved volunteer, Ian McRae has also been shortlisted for an award in the Charity Champion Category, as an “outstanding individual who has gone the extra mile to help a charity achieve its goals.”  The ScottishPower Foundation Charity Champion exemplifies what the organisation stands for and strives to inspire, support, and motivate. Ian has volunteered with LifeCare for over six years, and he has given his time, his patience, and his warmth to help deliver incredible support to clients who are living with dementia within one of our registered day clubs. Ian goes above and beyond, and thanks to his unique understanding, humour, and patience, he has, and continues to develop wonderful relationships with clients, staff, and other volunteers alike.

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 11^th November.
