Lifeways shortlisted for fantastic five Housing with Care Awards 2025

Lifeways is extremely proud to be shortlisted in five categories at the national Housing with Care Awards. 

The UK’s biggest provider of support for people with complex needs in the community has two Supported Living services nominated in the Best Care Team category – Coach House, in Morecombe, and Liffey Avenue, in Doncaster.

We’re also extremely proud to see two of our amazing team members shortlisted – Julie O’Donovan in the Workforce Development category, and Keleigh Bellamy-Jones, in the Care Manager category. 

And we’ve also been shortlisted in the Housing with Care Employer Award category after being nominated by an external partner. 

Andrea Kinkade, CEO at Lifeways, said: “We’re so proud to see our highly specialised services and our amazing team members getting the national recognition they so richly deserve. 

“Most importantly, this recognition reflects what’s most important to us – providing the best possible care and support to people so they can live as independently as possible.

“For 30 years, Lifeways has always put the people we support at the heart of what we do. It is the foundation of our ongoing transformation programme and underpins our Outstanding Strategy which sets the highest possible bar for quality in our sector.

"Over the last 12 months we’ve seen some wonderful outcomes as a result of the improvements we’ve made and I’m excited to see what we can achieve next. Good luck to all the finalists who are flying the flag for social care.” 

The Housing with Care Awards, run by Care Talk, recognise and celebrate excellence in accommodation and services which support people with learning disabilities, people with mental health problems, assisted living, extra care housing, supported living and shared lives schemes. 

The awards celebrate excellence and diversity in the sector, pay tribute to the frontline workforce and raise awareness of the different housing and retirement models to suit all needs. 

The winners will be announced at the event on 6 June 2025 at the Hilton Bankside in London.
