Colwyn Bay-based Enhanced Healthcare has been visiting care homes across the region delivering festive arts and crafts sessions to hundreds of residents.
This comes after the recruitment agency – named Health and Wellbeing Initiative of the Year at the British Business Awards – cemented its place among the ‘leading and most caring names in the sector.’
With more than 170 employees, founder Chanel Williams said their commitment to ‘their people’ is unwavering.
Ms Williams said: “To win such a prestigious award was amazing and is testament to the incredible dedication of our healthcare support workers and outstanding office team.
“Without their compassion and drive none of this would be possible, and for it to come as we are visiting our care home partners across the region and delivering festive workshops is fantastic, it’s given everyone an extra dose of Christmas cheer as they have proven very popular.”
Wendy Rogers from Glan Rhos Nursing Home in Brynsiencyn, Anglesey said: “Enhanced Healthcare ran a Christmas card-making workshop for our patients.
“They were friendly, enthusiastic and very kind, taking the time to chat with everyone and making sure they all got the chance to make cards using the colours and patterns that they liked despite not everyone being able to make them themselves.
“They brought an amazing collection of materials and gave demonstrations whilst also taking an interest in each person.
“We are looking forward to seeing them again soon.”
Angela Peacock, manager at Wynne Crest Care Home in Old Colwyn, said: “As well as getting together and having fun it was useful in helping with hand-eye coordination and socialisation.
“Everyone really enjoyed the afternoon, and it brought a smile to their faces.”

Brenda Hughes, scheme manager at ClwydAlyn’s Hafan Cefni extra care development on Anglesey, said: “The residents thoroughly enjoyed their session, it was a great event to kick off the Christmas festivities.”
Enhanced Healthcare’s director of operations Natalie O’Brien says they plan to roll out these events every Christmas.
She revealed the focus now is on ‘raising spirits in the run-up to January’ before a new year recruitment drive.
Ms O’Brien said: “We are so heartened to hear such positive responses, which gives us an even further boost following the company’s success at the British Business Awards.
“Our commitment is to people, which includes our amazing team, and that is why we will be looking to grow further in 2025.”
The open event takes place on Wednesday, January 8 from 10am to 3pm at Penrhos Manor, Colwyn Bay.
