The Diagrama Foundation has proudly announced special recognition for six exceptional team members who have demonstrated outstanding dedication and compassion in supporting adults with learning disabilities across the London Borough of Bromley.
Celebrating Excellence in Care and Support
Diagrama's Supported Living Service currently assists thirty-three adults with learning disabilities across seven distinct schemes within Bromley, alongside an additional scheme in Mid Sussex. This vital service enables individuals to develop essential skills, build confidence, and foster the independence required to live in their own homes, either independently or with others, as active and valued members of their local communities.
In addition to its supported living operations, the Diagrama Foundation further supports adults through three residential homes located in Orpington, collectively known as Cabrini. This reflects the organisation's broader commitment to helping vulnerable adults and children lead their best possible lives.
Recognised Team Members Making a Difference
Across these comprehensive services, the following individuals have been formally recognised for consistently exceeding expectations in their roles, delivering person-centred support that creates a tangible and lasting positive impact.
Lovenia Iwunna - Redhill Service
Lovenia has shown remarkable growth in both confidence and professional skill. Her calm and compassionate approach, particularly during hospital visits with service users, has earned high praise from both families and healthcare professionals. Colleagues and residents alike value her thoughtful, enthusiastic nature and her consistently positive, can-do attitude.
Catherine Thompson - Orchard Grove Service
Catherine is a dedicated and compassionate support worker known for consistently going the extra mile. She actively contributes to team activities and discussions and has demonstrated exceptional kindness and communication skills. This was especially evident when she supported a new resident and their family through a particularly challenging transition period.
Avura Nzele – Vinson Close Service
Despite being relatively new to the team, Avura has already made a significant impact through her deeply person-centred approach and commitment to understanding each resident's unique needs. She has shown real dedication during difficult periods, prioritising wellbeing and stepping in to ensure continuity of care when it was most needed.
Amal Antony – Moorfield Road Service
Amal consistently ensures that service users enjoy meaningful and well-planned experiences. He has demonstrated exceptional commitment, notably in supporting one individual to maintain crucial family relationships. His proactive nature, meticulous attention to detail, and dedication to enhancing care quality make him a standout member of the team.
Olano Blake – Brewery Road Service
Olano is recognised for consistently organising holidays, trips, and new experiences that significantly enrich the lives of those he supports. He maintains strong, trusting relationships with families and is widely known for his reliability, positive outlook, and proactive approach to care.
Maxine Clarke – Cabrini House, Orpington
Maxine Clarke, who works at Cabrini House in Orpington, has progressed from a bank worker to a support worker and now excels in her role as a care coordinator, bringing a wealth of experience and skill. She consistently goes above and beyond to support residents, families, and staff, always prioritising the needs and best interests of those in Diagrama's care, even under significant pressure. Nominated by her colleagues, this recognition reflects her professionalism, tireless commitment, and the exceptional daily support she provides.
Leadership Praise for Dedicated Staff
David McGuire, chief executive of Diagrama Foundation, commented on the recognitions, stating: "Our staff are the heart of what we do. The dedication, creativity and compassion shown by Lovenia, Catherine, Avura, Amal, Olano and Max truly reflect Diagrama's values. Their work enables people to build confidence, independence and a sense of belonging in their communities, and we are incredibly proud of the impact they make every day across the London Borough of Bromley."
The Diagrama Foundation works in close partnership with local authorities, including Bromley Council, to deliver high-quality supported living services that actively promote independence, dignity, and choice for adults with learning disabilities.
