Residents and staff at Southern Housing’s extra care scheme in Ryde gathered for an award ceremony to celebrate the people who make Ryde Village such a caring and vibrant place to live.
The Pride of Ryde Awards, held on Friday 5 June at the Woodland View scheme, celebrated dedicated volunteers, community champions, inspiring people, local businesses and organisations.
Over 200 nominations were received for individuals who have helped neighbours, supported local causes or made a difference in some way or another, with every nominee representing the positive impact that an individual can have on others’ lives.
The event brought the community together, with residents, staff and guests from the local community filling the scheme to celebrate in style. Organisers presented 25 awards on the night, alongside a three-course meal and live entertainment that closed the evening on a high.
Samantha Cronnelly, Registered Manager at Ryde Village at Southern Housing, said: “It was a delight to host the Pride of Ryde Awards. It was such an uplifting evening, full of pride, appreciation and togetherness, that made me feel incredibly proud to work amongst such a wonderful community.
“A particular highlight was hearing all the inspiring stories behind the nominations which reflected the kindness, generosity and community spirit that can be found at Ryde Village.”
The award ceremony coincides with Southern Housing celebrating its 125th anniversary this year.
