8 December 2022
Last night (7 December) we held the Star Awards 2022 in County Durham.
The ceremony, which was held in person for the first time since the pandemic, celebrated the #TEWVStars who go the extra mile in everything they do.
We were joined by colleagues from across the Trust, volunteers, involvement members and partners, who were nominated across ten categories.
Guests heard about each nominated person or team, the great work they do in the Trust and what their colleagues had said about them.
This year we received over 400 nominations, which is a record number for our annual awards.
Congratulations to all our winners and those who were highly commended.
