TWO members of staff at a Salisbury care home have been celebrated for going the extra mile for their residents.

Team members from Milford House Care Home, Gale Louw and Scarlet Leatham, attended the National Activity Providers Association National Activity Awards at Liverpool at the end of January.

Gale was the winner in the Arts in Care Homes category, while Scarlet Leatham was runner-up for the Lifetime Achievement award.

The pair stressed that neither of them would have been at the awards night without the support of the wider teams within their homes.

“We would also like to add our congratulations to all the finalists; winners and runners-up in all the categories – they were all amazing, and the dedication and passion they are showing every day in their work is truly inspiring,” they said.

General manager Aga Musial said she is proud to see her colleagues recognised at a national level.

“Anyone who comes to Milford can see what a key part that art in all its forms plays in the life of the home and it’s wonderful to see this recognised by this award. Congratulations, Gale!

“We won’t be resting on our laurels though, as we have lots of exciting plans for our art during 2025 including our recent appointment of an artist in residence!’
