A VITAL Ribble Valley or­ ganisation has won an award for the hard work it does


helping people around the borough. Crossroads Care Ribble


Valley was awarded the run­ ner-up prize for the Care Agency of the Year by Lanca - shire Link - an organisation championing local health and


social care issues throughout the region. The award was presented


by BBC North West corre­ spondent. Laura Yates and received for Crossroads by Dr Mike Smith, deputy chair­ man of Crossroads. A spokes­ man for the orgnanisation said: “This recognises the ‘heroes or heroines’ of the care professions who showed exceptional care and compas­ sion to those they cared for. “There were more than


70 nominations and one of the local carers, who rec­ ommended Crossroads, de- sciribed how the service went that extra mile to support both the carers and people that are being cared for.”
