Newark Business Awards 2023 – Best Customer Care

In the 2023 Newark Business Awards Back To Life Clinic was nominated for providing the Best Customer Care to patients. This was against every type of business in Newark and Sherwood - so Ian was delighted to be recognised as one of the best in the area.

Speaking on the night Ian said, "Providing excellent customer care is the bedrock for Back To Life Clinic, so I'm delighted that the same patients that we have helped have gone out of their way to nominate the clinic for this award. The fact that the judges have then selected Back To Life Clinic from the many businesses in the area is a great recognition of the passion and care that we provide for every single person who seeks our help".

As part of the awards night each company was filmed before the awards. Above, you can see the BTLC video shown on the night.

It is thanks to the wonderful support I have received that Back To Life Clinic has been such a success. This includes all my friends and family, the Newark business community and especially all my lovely patients who have written reviews and recommended the clinic to others. So THANK YOU for your help and support. And a special thank you to all the people who nominated the clinic for this award.

Charity of the Year Update

One activity that has relied on the fantastic support of the many wonderful BTLC clients has been the £5 donation for every new patient that came from a recommendation. I am pleased to say that 36 new patients were recommended to come to the clinic. Through the year we’ve also participated in the Beaumond House Ball and their Be Bright Blue event – donating 50% of new patient treatment fees that day to Beaumond House. We’ve also supported the charities’ own events through donating top fundraiser prizes to help incentivise others to raise more! These activities helped us donate over £400.

The most enjoyable event during the year though, was the first annual Newark Dragon Boat race which supported both Beaumond House and Children’s Bereavement Centre. You needed a team of at least 12 to take part so BTLC joined several other local companies from the Newark Business Club to form ‘The Winning Team!’. Unfortunately, we didn’t win the race, but we did live up to our name by winning the highest team fundraising prize. Together our businesses raised over £2,700. Ian even helped raise extra money by providing massages during the day for dragon boaters and spectators!

The year of support started with providing free corporate desk setup assessments for the team at Beaumond House. It was great to see the change in the team’s health and wellbeing after adjusting their desks and chairs to ensure they were better positioned. The staff were also taken through some exercises to help keep them pain free at work. At the same time several members of the nursing and fundraising teams who needed more support were given free treatments.

Chief Executive Debbie Abrams said “Ian has generously donated his time and talents to staff at Beaumond House Community Hospice these last few weeks. We are all much healthier thanks to his expertise. We are very grateful. Thank you Ian.”.

Throughout the year this gift-in-kind donation amounted to £3,500.

With the need for mental health support growing throughout the current pandemic, our chosen charities for 2020-21 are ShawMind (a local mental health charity) and Beaumond House Hospice Care once again.

You can help us to raise more for these amazing charities by recommending Back To Life Clinic to new potential patients. We will then donate £5 after their first appointment.

We look forward to more opportunities to help raise awareness of, and funds for, these two great charities throughout 2020-21.

THANK YOU
