A woman who helps older people boost their confidence received an award.

Catherine Pymar, from Tottenham, won the central London Community Healthcare (CLCH) trophy at the NHS Trust’s staff awards.

She works with older people at the charity Open Age and was commended for her support in helping boost their mood and confidence.

She said: “It was really exciting and great to see both mine and the charity’s work recognised by CLCH.

“The most rewarding part of the job is to be able to see the difference that you’re making to other people’s lives – it’s wonderful.”
