STAFF at Somerset Care’s Taunton community services office are celebrating after receiving the ‘Base of the Year’ award.

The award was presented by Dr Jane Townson, lead executive director, who thanked the team for their hard work this year.

The Taunton team from Huish House, Hamilton Road, were selected for their commitment to each other as a team and also to congratulate them for embracing changes within the Somerset Care’s community services.

Members of the team were treated to a vintage tea party complete with cream scones.

Care manager Jane Holley said: “We are delighted. “It’s a huge achievement and I would like to thank every member of staff in the team for their continued hard work and dedication.

“The vintage tea party was a lovely surprise and it was a perfect opportunity for staff to enjoy themselves and reflect on their achievement,” Jane added.
