On Monday 27 October, Nottingham CityCare hosted its annual Long Service Awards, a celebration recognising colleagues who have reached remarkable milestones of 20, 25, 30, and 40 years of continuous service. 

The event took place at Aspect House and was hosted by Chief Executive Nic Atkinson and Sherry Malik, Chair of the CityCare Board.
