Tracy Jackson OBE - Tracy is the heart of the children centre although she is very busy she still has time to speak to everyone and what makes its special is she knows everyone by name no matter how long they have been using the centre.

Members Support Team do a fantasic job in supporting Councillors with all kinds of queries and questions. They have just done alot of hard work in helping the City Council win the Charter Mark Award. It would be fantastic for the Team to be awarded a WOW Award for all their hard work.

This lady has changed so many lives, during her time at the Crescent Children Centre. The support and encouragement that she has given me in the last year has resulting in me applying for a vacancy within the children centres. 12 months ago I would never even consider going for such a role. She helps to bring out the best in you and your family x

Maz has rearranged her working days to accomodate the needs of Care UK and to work around a member of our admin team. This is VERY much appreciated and shows a real committment to her job role and her customers.She deserves a huge pat on the back.

The fantastic meals they prepare at the home (Abbots House) I have seen them myself and believe me they are cooked and presented as good as any restaurant or hotel. Nothing is too much trouble for them and no matter what you ask for they will do it for you. Even the simplest thing is presented nicely. They are absolutely brilliant and deserve one of your Wow awards.

All the staff have been helpful and kind. Marrow House is kept nice and clean. The kitchen staff have made a special effort to cater for my mums limited vegetarian diet. Marrow House offers a range of activities through the week in a modern up-to-date facility.

She made us feel welcome and put us at ease. She was courteous and very helpful.

For being helpful, kind and understanding with my Housing Benefit.

Whilst enquiring about my deceased mothers account number, Debbie pondered why I had been paying rates. I was advised I may be able to obtain a rebate if I spoke to an advisor. This I did and received a refund. I have visited previously and this was the first time this had been mentioned. So Debbie was most helpful.

Everybody that I have met over past few months in relation to new council property given to me in November. However Timothy Ashibende, exercised great assistance and patience with me. He is a real credit to yourselves and think other councils located around the country could benefit from copying your staff members attitude towards service users. Thanks Mark

I would like to nominate the Breastfeeding Cafe Team for their continual support, guidance, friendly approach and going the extra mile to help my daughter and I on a number of issues. They create a friendly and welcoming environment for all. Going the extra mile, special times to create themes - Christmas, Halloween, Teddy Bears Picnics etc.

Great service provided.

The staff here are all caring dedicated people who do all in their power to help, comfort and nurture the recovery of patients at the Meadows. I highly commend their work.

All the Meadows Staff (I could not just nominate one) All the staff are great. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

I couldnt single one out as they are all great. Nothing is too much trouble.

I would recommend Tina to any one who has been long term unemployed.She has been a great help to me in my search for work and constantly goes the extra mile for you.A true professional and a credit and asset to the city council.

I have found Wajids support to be excellent. I was in a bad place/situation. With Wajids support I have started to rebuild my life and feel happier after a long time. Thank you Wajid for your support.

Professional, great attitude - dealt with problems with consideration.

They have worked with me and my family in every possible way, helping us in everything. Nothing has been too much trouble for them and everything has been done with thought for our best interests. I cant put into words, my thanks to them.

At first I declined the service due to me feeling so down in mood. With encouragement and patience, I am now attending two social groups every week. I am more confident and have new friends. I feel that Linda brought me out of my shell and treated me as a friend, encouraging me to take part in activities that I would never have done. Thank you so much.

Joy is one of the loveliest and genuine people you could have sent to work with me. I felt so at ease straight away. She is caring, helpful and makes you feel happy. She just brings a smile every time I see her. I know Im older than her but she made me feel like I was with a mum. When I felt a bit down she would put her arm round me, it was a hug I never had from my real mum. She is the best. A friend you would want for ever.

Pleased with the service, have enjoyed being there, it has been fun. I wish the staff a very Happy Christmas and New Year. Thank you.
