Steven Gambles, Together for Children
Anna from the Engagement Team went along to Together for Children (TFC) on the 6th of July to present Steven Gambles with his well-earned Star Award. The award was given to Steven after the positive feedback the Healthwatch team received from a parent who Steven had supported.
Some of the feedback received from the parent included:
Steven has been the most amazing support for my family. Without Steven’s input we could have continued to struggle in silence but as a result of Steven’s dedication we are able to thrive.
Steven who was surprised with his award at a staff meeting was both delighted and shocked.
Steven commented:
Having a family member take the time to provide such incredible feedback means so much to me and everyone in TFC who was part of the work we completed. In TfC we try to strive to deliver a balanced, strength‑based approach to our work with the children at the forefront of everything we do. Hearing how the family feel their circumstances have improved because of our work together is amazing and I feel privileged to have been a small part of their journey
Nicola Burn, Steven’s Service Manager commented:
I am thrilled that Steven’s hard work and dedication to providing an outstanding service to this family has been recognised. A parent nomination makes this award even more meaningful. I couldn’t be prouder of the service Steven and the staff within the Children with Disability Teams offer to children, young people and families in Sunderland.
A huge congratulations to Steven from all at the Healthwatch Team.
