Spire Homes'
People Pride and Community Awards 2011

We held our 2nd People, Pride & Community Awards at our Annual General Meeting, and what a success they were!

These awards give you the chance to nominate neighbours and people within our communities who always go the extra mile and deserve recognition for their efforts. We were overwhelmed by the response we received and the stories about our tenants and the difference they make to others on a daily basis. The awards were sponsored by Apollo Services, Aaron Services and Jeakins Weir.

Below are the winners for 2011 and why they were nominated.

Audrey Barnes
“For Audrey, nothing is any trouble for any of the tenants living in Crispian Court. She watches over them and is always there to help. She helps a number of our tenants with cleaning, shopping, assisting them to the doctors, walking with them in to town or the post office to give support. She is a great listener and always offers empathy and support to her friends. She prepares the community room for bingo and entertainment nights, setting out the tea, biscuits and cakes. I have never seen Audrey without a smile on her face."
Carol Eldred, Support Worker, Spire Homes

Isabelle Humphries“She cares for her husband Barry who has MS and is in a Wheelchair, and she also cares for her brother Charles who has the mentality of a 10 year old child. She cuts our grass for us and looks after our property when we are away. Nothing is too much trouble to help us, and we think she is an amazing woman.”
Margaret Varley and Elsie Coleman, tenants



Mattie Hornigold“She is a fantastic asset for the community and is part of the local community
group called I-Grow in Irthlingborough. She volunteers at all community events we put on and does fantastic work with young people. She helps Groundwork run a youth club on Monday nights. She is such a friendly and caring person who is always happy to go the extra mile to help somebody out.” 
Shaun Sannerude, East Northamptonshire Council

Christopher Loakes“Chris has been a key driver for our Human Utopia project, and is a real young leader. He was a student leader at our Harmony Camp, where he gave support workshop about bullying at school and the effects it has on people. He really is outstanding.”

Joanna Holmes, Extended Services Manager at Rushden Community College



Werner Schulze

“Werner is the litter warden for Collyweston, despite having to use a mobility
scooter. He can regularly be seen combing the village’s streets picking up litter with a grabber. Every year, he organises a litter collection over a wider area of the village.”
Ann Munton, tenant
