“The award is a great tribute to all of the hard work and time the Augustinian Sisters have given to St George’s Park and without who we wouldn’t have achieved such success.

“I would like to therefore thank everyone who has helped at the retirement village from the initial planning stages through to the day to day organisation.

“It has been a real team effort and I accept this award on behalf of everyone involved.”

Since its launch in 2005, St George’s Park has become a pioneering retirement village where residents can enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle in a caring and safe environment.
