A CONWY-BASED mental health organisation has won an award at the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, the UK’s most prestigious business awards.

4 Mental Health deliver programmes to meet the differing mental health training needs of a broad spectrum of sectors, including healthcare, social care, statutory bodies, further and higher education, workplaces and the wider community.

Their work has today been recognised with an award for International Trade, having seen overseas training increase significantly between 2018 and 2021, constituting 43 per cent of their activity.

Small Business Minister Paul Scully MP said: “Organisations like 4 Mental Health are providing a valuable service, bringing UK expertise on the vitally important subject of mental health to organisations around the world to help them save lives.

232 winners were announced, while winners’ awards remain valid for five years during which those organisations are permitted to fly The Queen’s Awards flag at their main office and use the emblem on their marketing materials.

Winners are also given a Grant of Appointment (an official certificate) and a commemorative crystal trophy.

Her Majesty’s Lord Lieutenants will be presenting the Awards to businesses locally throughout the year.
