On Tuesday 3 December, colleagues across Active Care Group were invited to attend the Night of the Stars event in Nottingham. The prestigious occasion recognised the hard work and achievements across every division throughout 2024.
The evening began with a drinks reception, where colleagues had the opportunity to meet face to face, catch up and celebrate over a drink. The stars were then ushered through to the main event room, followed by event paparazzi taking photos of them and their loved ones.
Prior to sitting down to enjoy a delicious three course meal, the stars were entertained with a song about Active Care Group, written and performed by Opeyemi Ademola, Senior Support Worker at Nottingham Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre.
Once the stars were well fed and ready for the awards to commence, CEO Keith Browner kicked off the proceedings with an introduction speech, thanking everyone for their commitments this year.
