Next year we're launching our new look annual awards event with a brand new name and logo.

The CHuFT Awards!

CHuFT is the new name for everything we celebrate here at our Trust. We already have new distinctive posters with party popper branding across HRI and now we're going all out for a new name, new look staff awards next summer.

Read more from our Executive Director of Workforce and Organisational Development, Suzanne Dunkley:

"Next year, our annual awards ceremony (previously called Celebrating Success) is going to be even bigger and better! This is based on colleague feedback about who gets to attend the event, and how shortlisted colleagues get to show off their success. It's a key ingredient of our Cupboard and is one of our best opportunities to display one culture of care.

"The annual awards will be rebranded the CHuFT Awards - and CHuFT will be the new branding for everything we do to celebrate our success across CHFT.  You may already have seen some CHuFT posters popping up across all our sites, sharing some of the amazing things that our colleagues achieve at CHFT day-in, day-out. 

"The annual CHuFT awards will take place in July next year at The Arches in Dean Clough in Halifax on 2nd July.

"We’re already working on the nominations website and awards categories so look out for this early in the new year.  We’re also looking at using a bigger venue so that more colleagues can attend, and there will be an opportunity for colleagues who aren't nominated to come and support their colleagues.

"So that the event is everything colleagues want it to be, we are seeking five colleagues from across the Trust to come and help plan the event, and to help design the judging process. A call out for judges will follow early in the new year. As members of the events committee, you will of course be there on the night the event, and will be able to attend meetings during your working day."
