Heart of CWPT Awards – nominations open!
We're delighted to announce nominations are open for the Heart of CWPT Awards 2026! This is your opportunity to recognise the incredible individuals and teams at Coventry and Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust (CWPT) who have made a difference over the past year.
Anyone working or volunteering at CWPT can be nominated for a Heart of CWPT Award. Every year we invite people across Coventry and Warwickshire to nominate a person or team they feel has gone the extra mile to help them or to deliver exceptional services.
Our annual awards is always a highlight in our Trust's calendar, and it is a privilege to read the nominations as they showcase the wonderful work our staff and volunteers do, and the difference they make every day. For 2026, we're delighted to announce a new name for our awards. Chosen by colleagues, the Heart of CWPT Awards reflects what the event is all about: celebrating the brilliant people and teams at the heart of our organisation. What makes the awards that extra bit special is that nominations can be made by anyone - staff, volunteers, or members of the public. This means those moments and actions that our staff and volunteers have been involved in which aren't necessarily seen by their colleagues can be properly acknowledged and celebrated!
- Mary Mumvuri MBE, Acting Chief Executive Officer
