Search: Services for Older People, a charity based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, has scooped one of this year’s GSK IMPACT Awards, a much sought-after accolade for health care charities in the UK.
The charity has been named one of the winners for its work supporting older people in Newcastle, particularly those experiencing poverty and ill health, to live healthier, active and more independent lives.
The award judges were particularly struck by the charity’s range of innovative support services targeted at specific local health needs, including people living with dementia and older people experiencing isolation living in the city’s high-rise housing blocks.
