In our first year of hosting our Every Voice People Awards we are so pleased to announce our first set of finalists from across our services.
The awards, being organised by our Every Voice Patient Partners, were open to current or former patients/service users, carers, patients, carers, self-advocacy groups, or anyone with lived experience of mental health, learning disabilities, or autism that deserves recognition. They aim to celebrate the positive impact that lived or learnt experience has to instil hope and inspire recovery.
We are using World Mental Health Day as a celebration of everything people have achieved and look forward to inviting all of our finalists to the celebrations on Thursday 10 October.
At the event we’ll hear more about people’s stories, sharing the similarities, and celebrating the differences, as well as launch our new Council for Lived and Learnt Experience.
We are thankful to everyone who took the time to make a nomination. It was no easy task shortlisting, and everyone who was nominated should feel extremely proud of their achievements.
After careful consideration and deliberation with our external patient partners, we are delighted to be able to announce the shortlist for this year's awards.
