Caerphilly County Borough Council’s social care organisation has received two national awards.

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

It won a silver award in the ‘Impact in the Community’ category, and won bronze in the ‘Best Wellbeing Service’ category.

The winners were announced at the Mental Health and Wellbeing Awards and Conference, held at the Mercure Holland House Hotel in Cardiff on Wednesday October 9.

Councillor Carol Andrews, council cabinet member for education and communities, said: “Winning these awards is a testament to the tireless efforts of the Caerphilly Cares team.

“Their dedication to improving the wellbeing of our community is truly inspiring, and these accolades reflect the real difference they have made in people’s lives. I am incredibly proud of their accomplishments.”

The council said the awards “are a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our team, as well as the strength and resilience of the community we serve”.
