Fielder Lodge Wins!
Fielder Lodge have been awarded 'Best Assisted Living Development' by Your New Home Awards 2008. The awards are now firmly established and widely regarded as the most independent awards within the new build industry. The judges were as much impressed by the service concept and how the design supported that, as the design itself.

800 Group - Together We Achieve
Robin Currie, PSS; Kath Pitt, Nugent Care; Iain Brodie Browne, Imagine; Jim Moran, Bradbury Fields; Marc Crank, Henshaws; John Ward MSDP; Dil Daly, Age Concern Liverpool.
Formal Launch of the 800 Group was held on Tuesday 10th March 2009 at Liverpool Town Hall. The launch introduced the group to the Merseyside third sector and was attended by over 150 representatives.
Imagine look forward to participating with our partner organisations:
Age Concern; Bradbury Fields; Henshaws Society for Blind Poeple; Merseyside Society for Deaf People; Nugent Care; PSS.
In introducing this consortium of 3rd sector organisations we hope to launch a whole new style of service supply for the region.
The seven partners have considerable expertise and experience in the fields of health and social care. They have a combined turnover in excess of £55 million per annum and support tens of thousands of vulnerable people in Liverpool and the surrounding area. The 800 Group believes that this is a positive move for each of the partners, for other charities in the sector and for the people who rely on the services every day of the year.
