Ben Clayton said: “Emma would never put herself forward for something like this.
“She always plays down her role, but the truth is she’s at the heart of everything we do here. Whether it’s checking in on residents, delivering food parcels, or just being someone to talk to, she goes above and beyond every single day.”
The Places for People Community Champion Awards are held annually to celebrate people across the UK.
This year, it was hosted at York and was presented by Greg Reed, chief executive officer of Places for People.
When talking about her team, Emma said: “It’s just my job, really and I like to make sure people are okay. If I haven’t seen someone for a while, I’ll check in. We’ve got a good team here, we all look out for each other.”
