We are absolutely delighted to share that Geraldine Smith, Co-Founder of Coate Water Care Co. Ltd, has been honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the WAGS: Women Achieving Greatness in Social Care 🌟 It is such a beautifully fitting moment, especially as we celebrate 30 incredible years of Coate Water Care this year 🎉
What began in 1995 as a single home has grown into nine homes across six counties 🏡💙 and at the heart of it all has been Geraldine. Her warmth, determination and unwavering belief in a people-first approach have shaped Coate Water Care into a place where compassion is not just a value, it is a way of life. Her leadership has always carried a rare blend of strength and kindness, setting the standard for the consistently high-quality care the organisation is known for ✨
Geraldine is so much more than a co-founder. She is an inspiration, a role model and the steady heartbeat of the organisation 💛
A huge, heartfelt congratulations, Geraldine 👏 and congratulations to all the amazing women recognised at the awards. Your dedication, passion and brilliance continue to make a real difference in social care. It is wonderful to see so many talented and inspiring women celebrated for the incredible work they do 🌸💫
