We’re seeking volunteers from right across CHFT to be part of our CHuFT Awards 2026 shortlisting panels - to choose our finalists who will attend the Awards on Thursday, 2nd July at The Arches, Dean Clough, Halifax.

Once you’ve read the information below, if you’d like to register your interest, please complete our quick registration form.

Being part of a panel means that you will get to review between 10 and 15 nominations with other colleagues from across the Trust. Between you you’ll decide on the five nominations that will make it to the final.  The winner in each category will then be determined by a further panel made up from members of the Executive Board.

You will be sent some information the week before panels take place and we ask that you read through this.  It tells you about the process and the scoring criteria for your category.  

On the day, you will have a Panel Chair and support from the OD Team to guide the group through the decision-making process.  We'll also provide some drinks and biscuits to keep you energised!  

Here are the dates/times for the panels:

  • One Culture of Care Category:  Monday 18 May 1 - 4pm  (Acre Mill WOD, Room 4)
  • Putting People First Category:  Tuesday 19 May 9am - 12 (Acre Mill WOD, Room 4)
