We are thrilled to announce that we have received an Award of Excellence as Number One Charity of the Year for Older People at the 2025 E2 Media Awards.
Coinciding with the anniversary of our beloved founder, Tim Lloyd-Yeates, who passed away ten years ago, we opened the trophy on his memorial bench at our dementia-friendly allotment in North Bristol, surrounded by some of the older people we support.
Spotlighting the outstanding achievements of organisations that have demonstrated innovation and resilience in the face of adversity, it is an honour to be recognised by E2 Media. Praising our commitment to lighting up later life, the judges said:
Alive’s exceptional dedication to providing unparalleled service has set them apart, earning them the recognition and admiration of their industry peers and clients. This accolade highlights Alive’s commitment to excellence and the consistent efforts to go above and beyond in ensuring a positive and seamless experience for the older people they support. We think it’s important to recognise organisations bringing something new and innovative to their marketplace. They don’t have to be the biggest. However, they have to be an organisation that is trying to offer something different from what is already out there. Above all, they must provide a great product or service. We feel that Alive ticks all the boxes and is a worthy winner of our award.

Speaking on the award and anniversary of Tim’s passing, our CEO Isobel Jones said:
To be honoured in this way for our dedication and commitment to older people means so much. It is an emotional testament to the vision Tim had, to the powerful force he inspired to not only bring love and joy to the lives of older people, but to the light he shone on the care system and how he has inspired change.
Ten years on, and I know he would be so incredibly proud of how we have continued to innovate, experiment and pioneer – and continue to build on his incredible legacy. With our recent award wins for our Meeting Centres and BRI Garden, as well as recognition for our Hoppiness Project, he’d definitely be smiling!

A huge thank you to E2 Media for this incredible honour.
