Royal Hill Independent Living Service, our innovative home for people with learning disabilities and autistic people, has been shortlisted in the Future Spaces category at this year's Local Government Chronicle (LGC) Awards.
Aimed at improving the lives of residents and helping to foster a sense of community and belonging, every element of the state-of-the-art, zero carbon facility was designed to meet the needs of the people who call it home.
The LGC Future Places Award recognises councils using their spending power to work creatively with new suppliers to reduce carbon emissions, enable greater inclusion, and harness digital technologies.
Councillor Mariam Lolavar, Cabinet Member for Health, Adult Social Care and Borough of Sanctuary said:
“It’s fantastic that our trailblazing Independent Living Service has been recognised as an example of what the future of supported living could be.”
“Royal Hill is a testament to the council’s commitment to inclusivity, compassion, and dignity for all members of our community, and the vision that good health helps people live their best life. The scheme also sets the standard of what can be achieved through collaboration and a shared commitment to sustainability.”
Councillor Anthony Okereke, Leader of the Royal Borough of Greenwich said:
"Partnership working has been key in making the service a reality, so I would like to thank our partner, Golden Lane Housing, and all the dedicated individuals who have worked tirelessly on bringing it to life and making it such a success."
