The Friends and Neighbours (FaNs) Essex Celebration Awards took place on Thursday 27^th June 2019 at the JobServe Community Stadium. This recognised the ‘FaNs Network’ of volunteers and partners who have gone above and beyond, to help older people enjoy the best possible quality of life through meaningful engagement with their wider community.

My Home Life Essex Community Association, the Charity behind the FaNs Network brought together over 100 people of all ages to celebrate the transformational difference the charity’s volunteers and partners have made through projects including the Wishing Washing Line, bake off competitions, cooking with dementia sessions, Remembrance Sunday services, community events, school engagement projects and youth led activities with older people.
