We’re proud to say that East Sussex County Council’s Housing Occupational Therapy team have won a national award for their excellent work.

They won the national Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) Home Adaptation Service of the Year award at the National Healthy Housing Awards.

The accolade reflects the work they do with housing authorities across the county to adapt properties for people with disabilities, older people, their families or their carers, to live comfortably in their own homes.

The judging panel thought this was a really strong example of innovation and doing things differently that the sector could learn from.
