The manager of a Brighton adult day care centre has been given special recognition for her work with people with additional needs.

Christine Howland, manager at the Sharon Collins Resource Centre and The Hub in Brighton, has received a Parent Carers' Council (PaCC) Award in the Social Care Sector.

The PaCC is a vital advocate for families in Brighton and Hove with children who have additional needs and/or disabilities.

Her unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of those we support has rightfully earned her this PaCC Award. We are immensely proud of her and the exemplary service the Sharon Collins Resource Centre offers under her guidance."

The PaCC Awards aim to highlight and celebrate the incredible work done by individuals and organisations in supporting SEND families across Brighton and Hove. Christine’s recognition is a testament to her impactful contributions and the positive change she has fostered within the social care sector.

The award ceremony is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 7th March, from 10:00am to 1:30pm at the Auditorium, Brighthelm Centre, Brighton. It promises to be a momentous occasion, acknowledging the hard work and achievements of those dedicated to supporting the SEND community.
