Caerphilly County Borough Council’s social care organisation has been nominated for two national awards.

The Caerphilly Cares team has been named as finalist in two categories at the Mental Health and Wellbeing Wales Awards.

It is up for both the ‘Impact in the Community’ award and the ‘Best Wellbeing Service’ category.

The winners will be announced at the Mental Health and Wellbeing Awards and Conference on Wednesday October 9, just ahead of World Mental Health Day.

The event will be held at The Mercure Holland House Hotel in Cardiff.

Councillor Carol Andrews, council cabinet member for education and communities, said the nominations are: “a testament to the tireless efforts of the Caerphilly Cares team”.

Cllr Andrews continued: “Their dedication to improving the wellbeing of our community is truly inspiring, and this recognition reflects the positive impact they have had.

“I am proud of their achievements and confident that they will continue to make a real difference in people’s lives.”
