The centre faced stiff competition in the Northern Health and Social Care Trust area to be named a finalist in the Best Kept Healthcare Facility category.

The prestigious competition, which is run by the Northern Ireland Amenity Council (NIAC), attracted almost 100 entries. A panel of judges inspected each facility for general tidiness, cleanliness and evidence of environmental improvements.
