Care staff at a learning disability day centre have been honoured as regional team of the year.

Staff at Easterly House, Thornton Heath, won the award at the Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust staff achievement and recognition awards.

Fiona Edwards, Chief Executive of the Trust, said: "This year the team has moved from Geoffrey Harris House in Croydon to set up the new Easterly House Day Service in Thornton Heath.

"In doing so they have always put the needs of those who use the service first and supported relatives along the way. "
