Date: Monday 27 Jul 2020

Donna Welby at Hickathrift House Care Home in Marshland St James has been crowned Learner of the Year for Barchester Central Division in the Barchester Care Awards 2020 and made it through to the national finals.
As the winner for Central, Donna has automatically gone through to the national Barchester Care Awards finals, where she will be interviewed by the judges for the last round of judging. In October, Donna will join the other finalists from across the UK and discover if they have won the national awarding title.
Donna said: “I wasn’t expecting to be shortlisted but I am so pleased, and proud. We don’t work in care for the accolades but it’s wonderful to be recognised by my team and peers, it is nothing short of an honour.”

General Manager, Paula Colman, said: “This is an amazing achievement, and the staff residents and community are supporting Donna wholeheartedly. There isn’t a more worthy winner.
