Local mental health charity, Suffolk Mind, has been recognised with a national Mind award for Service Quality and Safety.

It was up against several other associations for the award in the Sustainability and Growth Category as part of the Mind Network Excellence Awards.

Jon Neal, CEO of Suffolk Mind, said: "Service quality, and health and safety, are the bedrock of everything we do at Suffolk Mind, so I’m incredibly proud of our team for achieving this national recognition.

"The Mind Quality Mark is a benchmark against which all local Mind charities are judged across England and Wales. It will be reassuring to the people that use our services, and to those that commission them, that our staff and volunteers are at the top of their game in this crucial area."

The annual awards are made up of 13 categories, which are split into the Mind Quality Mark's (MQM) three overarching areas - Leadership and Governance, Sustainability and Growth, and Influence and Engagement.
