Charlotte Straker wins a Golden Gnomie Award!

The Hexham Gnomes Facebook page has recently organised the “Golden Gnomie Awards” to celebrate those who went above and beyond during the Covid pandemic over last twelve months.

Laura Johnson (daughter of our much loved resident Audrey) very kindly nominated the staff of the Charlotte Straker Project and we are delighted to say that we have won our very own Golden Gnomie!

Laura said “Charlotte Straker certainly does deserve an award for all the hard work put in over these difficult times and I’m delighted that they’ve been recognised for their efforts.”

Pam Crawley, our Registered Manager added, “We think this is a wonderful idea, and we have organised a staff competition to name our Gnomie. Laura chose the winning name Charlie and Charlie the Gnomie is now in pride of place in our reception area! The Charlotte Straker team has worked incredibly hard over the past twelve months, often in difficult conditions and it’s lovely that Laura has recognised this and put us forward for an award. Thank you again – we will display our Charlie Gnomie with pride.
