Small Grants

NHS staff awards

The Maudsley Charity is proud to have funded the 2019 SLaM staff awards, through our Anchor grants programme.

The winners of the Staff Awards 2019 were revealed at a glittering ceremony at the Hilton London Bankside on Thursday 3 October. Guests sat down to a three-course dinner before the awards were presented by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust Chief Executive, David Bradley and Interim Chair & Maudsley Charity Trustee, June Mulroy. Attendees then hit the dancefloor and proved that not only are they fantastic at their jobs, they also know how to D-I-S-C-O!

Chief Executive David Bradley said: “I felt honoured to celebrate the hard work, dedication and achievements of our staff. Across the NHS and particularly in mental health, our jobs can be very tough and complex and the work environment is often challenging. This means it is really important that we properly recognise the fantastic and inspirational work that our colleagues do, each and every day across the trust. A huge well done to all our finalists and well-deserved winners”.

The judging panel was selected from across the trust and included service users and carers as well as staff judges. The awards were made possible through our Anchor grants programme.
