One East Midlands member receives Big Society Award

One East Midlands would like to congratulate Serve, a charity based in Northamptonshire that delivers a range of support services to older people in the county, on their Big Society Award, the first to be awarded to an organisation in the region.

Serve is a full member of One East Midlands as well as our Health and Social Care Network. Following a call out from the Department of Health for exemplar VCS Health projects in April 2011, Serve provided One East Midlands with details of their work, which we submitted to the Department of Health, created into a case study and used to nominate the charity for a Big Society Award.
