Kindness and Empathy Awards

The Kindness and Empathy Awards are back to celebrate outstanding acts of kindness and empathy shown by BCUHB staff members working within the Learning Disabilities Teams in North Wales.

Thanks to retired Clinical Operational Manager, Jon Crabb, who donated £2,000 to establish these awards in 2022 we are able to recognise exceptional kindness and empathy within the Learning Disabilities Teams in North Wales.
