***We have some AMAZING news to share!***

The Elder Tree has been recognised in this year's prestigious GSK IMPACT Awards - one of the most respected national awards for community health charities in the UK - and we couldn't be more proud!

Out of a record-breaking 700+ entries, we were delighted to be one of the 15 finalists, with our work assessed across six areas - Innovation, Management, Partnership, Achievement, Community Focus and Targeting Need. Our CEO, Louise Barnes, and Operations Manager, Elliott Malone, attended the awards ceremony at The King's Fund in London last week.

This recognition means the world to us and it belongs to every team member, volunteer, partner and older person who is part of the Elder Tree community.
