Inspired’s most inspiring!

Last month our teams across the UK came together for our annual ViVA Awards. It’s a fantastic opportunity to recognise and celebrate the Inspired Villages people who truly live our values, and go above and beyond for our residents and each other.

But it’s also about having fun, and this year colleagues embraced the celebration spirit by dressing up in a theme of their choice. We’ve seen some fantastic effort over the years, but this year the teams pushed the boat out to celebrate the 80s, Barbie, Pride and Festivals!

He’s a full list of this year’s ViVA winners – congratulations to all of you!
