Tamsyn Imison Award

 

In 2018 the Tamsyn Imison Award for Halesworth Community Project of the Year was inaugurated. We are delighted to report that the award was won by Halesworth Dementia Carers Fund for the year 2022.

The award was presented to HDCF Chair Nikki Sawkins by Rev. Dominic Doble on behalf of Michael Imison, Patron of the award, at a lovely celebration in St Mary’s Church on 27th April. The event was marked by music, and short talks telling of Tamsyn’s work and love of Halesworth. There was also a very moving talk by Pippa Evans, telling of her experiences when her beloved husband Bertie developed dementia. 

 

Working with the Pear Tree Centre and other local organisations and service providers the HDCF works very hard to provide respite for families where a loved one has dementia, and Nikki and our Patron, Paddy Cox, expressed their gratitude to everyone for their support in so many different ways, and helping to make Halesworth a centre of excellence for dementia respite care.
