Welcome receives a 10K donation from SITA UK, recycling and resource management company, as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility programme.
Half of the money is used to set up a rent deposit scheme, the other half to improve a working garden and purchase sports equipment.
Bernie Oldbury, Welcome’s family support worker funded through the Big Lottery, wins the National Treatment Agency’s ‘West Midlands Drugs Worker of The Year’ award.
Bernie was presented with her plaque at a lunch in London on 12th December 2007 by the Home Office minister for Crime prevention Vernon Coaker.
