Oxclose Lodge care home in Nottingham was celebrating after receiving first prize in a photo and video competition.

The residential care home for disabled young adults with complex care needs, based on Edwards Lane in Sherwood scooped the top prize with a photo of Stacey, one of the people supported by the service, receiving a face mask spa treatment. The photograph was taken by support worker Remi Fox Novak.

The competition brief was to show what HumanKind, the premise at the very heart of Salutem Care and Education, meant to staff and the individuals they support through a photo or video.

The winners received a Fujifilm Instax Polaroid camera, and the top three entries were also presented with a printed canvas of their winning photo to display at their location, as well hanging at the Salutem head office in Windsor.

Kimberly Davey, service manager at Oxclose Lodge, said: “I’m so happy our team won the photography competition. Stacey really enjoyed being pampered and having a face mask and Remi captured the moment. It was then submitted by Elaine Cubitt. They’re the real stars.

“At Oxclose Lodge, we want the people we support to feel at home, comfortable and relaxed, so we often have lovely spa days and special events to help us get everyone in good spirits.

“I’m delighted that the picture of Stacey spoke to the judges and represents HumanKind across the whole of Salutem.”

John Godden MBE, CEO of Salutem Care and Education, said: “I’d like to congratulate everyone who took part in the Salutem photo and video competition.

“We saw so many examples of HumanKind and what it means to our team. It’s fantastic to see so many people living the Salutem values.

“A special congratulations to Kimberly and the team at Oxclose Lodge for taking first prize too. The picture of Stacey enjoying her facemask really captured a lovely moment. Very well done.”

Oxclose Lodge is part of Ambito Care and Education, which is part of Salutem Care and Education.
