The date is set, the venue is booked, and the trophies are being polished. The Recovery Connections Awards, and Annual Conference, are set for January 2022. Taking place on the 24th, at Hardwick Hall, we’ll champion the people who we see as making the biggest difference to others – including staff – over the last 12 months.
There are 8 awards in total, including the David Jackson Outstanding Contribution Award. Voting for the person who you feel most fits the award, a shortlist of those most frequently nominated will be created, before an overall winner is announced. As usual, you can nominate a member of staff, a volunteer, or an ambassador for any of the categories.
The ceremony will also be an opportunity to reflect on the last 12 months, while looking forward to a positive 2023 ahead.
