A GROUP of Richmond care workers have been celebrated as ‘Community Heroes’ for assisting people with learning disabilities over the pandemic. Staff at six residential care services run by charity, United Response, won the Council’s 2020 Dignity in Care award. The annual prize recognises local care workers and personal assistants who go the extra mile to provide support to residents. United Response’s care homes on Kneller Road, Mayfair Avenue, Woodland Crescent, Harvey Road, Hanworth Road and Curtis Road were all given the award for their “positive contributions, selfless dedication and commitment to helping others” in response to the Covid outbreak.
