The care group welcomed television personality and former politician Ed Balls as its special guest to present the awards at the Crown Spa Hotel in Scarborough.
Those awards were presented to recognise the care delivered by staff across the group’s centres in Scarborough, Whitby and Pickering.
Saint Cecilia’s Executive Chairman Mike Padgham said: “We had a wonderful evening celebrating the amazing care our staff have delivered over the past 12 months.
“It was our opportunity to celebrate them and to say thank you and show our appreciation for all that they do.
“After he was unable to make it due to Storm Babet last year, we were delighted to welcome Ed Balls as our special guest, alongside Scarborough and Whitby MP Alison Hume, the Charter Mayor, Councillor Janet Jefferson, and many other guests, for a fantastic evening.
“A huge thank you to them and to all our supporters for making it a very special evening. All in all, it was a wonderful celebration of Saint Cecilia’s staff and a wonderful celebration of social care.”
Guests enjoyed a delicious three-course dinner and dancing as well as the presentation of the awards. They also said hello to two alpacas from Butterwick Alpaca Retreat.
