Following the fantastic success of last year's event, the Every Voice People Awards returned for a second year, thanks to external funding.

Organised by our Every Voice Patient Partners, we used World Mental Health Day as a celebration of everything people using our services have achieved.

The awards were open to anyone currently using, or who has previously used our services, as well as carers or family members of people who use our services too - the important thing is they have lived or learnt experience.

We wanted our awards to be a celebration of people and the positive impact that lived or learnt experience has to instil hope and inspire recovery.
