Proudly Representing a Better Future for Social Care

Today was a truly special moment for BelleVie. Our Founding CEO, Dr Trudie Fell, had the honour of attending the Buckingham Palace Garden Party in recognition of BelleVie’s contribution to social care and community-based home care services.

It was a remarkable day filled with celebration, pride, and reflection. As the Royal Family descended the Palace steps, guests were delighted to be welcomed by His Majesty King Charles III, The Queen, The Princess Royal, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

With the uplifting sounds of two exceptional brass bands and the famous Buckingham Palace garden party refreshments — including best-in-class egg sandwiches — the occasion perfectly captured the spirit of service, compassion, and community.

This recognition is a proud milestone for BelleVie and reflects the dedication of our teams, partners, and the communities we serve across the Thames Valley and the North East. Together, we continue to champion a better way of caring — one that values independence, connection, and person-centred social care.

A specific thank you to Skills For Care for nominating BelleVie for a Buckingham Palace Garden Party invitation, due to our services to the community.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported our mission and helped make this incredible moment possible.

We're also thrilled that this news was shared by our friends at the Hexham Courant!
