Care Awards celebrate people in Calderdale overcoming adversity
Pictured is Sam Bottomley with his People’s Choice award with the Mayor and Mayoress of Calderdale.
Justin Appleyard, who helps organise the annual event, said: “We were so humbled by the nominations at this year’s Care Awards. The stories of individuals overcoming their barriers or disability so they could do the things they wanted to do made it very difficult to choose a winner. In the end, more categories were added due to their achievements.
