An inspired Merseyside woman, who never left her home for 25 years, has been praised for overcoming her fears, at the annual Adullam Homes Moore Awards.
Susan Mann, who is a resident at social housing provider Adullam Homes and was diagnosed with OCD and Asperger’s, was awarded The Moore Award for Personal Achievement, which recognises the progress made in her life.
Susan, 51, is now making a positive change in her life by managing her finances and enrolling in an English and Computing course.
Launched in 2013, the Moore Awards recognise the work and inspirational tales of service users and residents, as well as staff, volunteers and students working for, or receiving treatment from, Adullam Homes.
The successes and achievements of other Adullam residents, staff and volunteers were also highlighted at the awards, which were named after the company’s founder, Walter Moore MBE.
Trevor Palfreyman, Chief Executive of Adullam Homes, said: “It has been another successful Moore Awards, and I would like to congratulate everyone on their achievements. It is vital to recognise the inspirational stories, hard work and dedication of our residents, staff and volunteers, who have come a long way after suffering setbacks in their lives.
“Susan, in particular, has made significant progress and has overcome many obstacles; let alone dealing with two illnesses. She is a deserving winner of the Moore Award for Personal Achievement, and I would like to wish her all the very best on her recovery journey.”
Adullam Homes works with vulnerable people to restore hope and dignity by supporting its service users and enabling them to lead independent lives. Its social enterprise wing, Matt25, provides training and recruitment for residents and service users, helping them secure work within Adullam and in the wider community.
