Our Staff Awards
Every year the Trust highlights, honours and celebrates long service, Trust colleagues and volunteers, members of the public and partners who have been nominated for going the extra mile to make a real difference to others.
Our SWASFT staff and volunteers deliver extraordinary work and compassionate care every day. Through our Staff Awards, we aim to recognise and celebrate their efforts and achievements.
