Recovery category winner is Harry Taylor

Harry has been a volunteer within the Physical Treatment Centre, Hadrian Clinic for several years now. Harry is certainly a person who gives the extra mile- he is always cheerful, helpful and sensitive to the moods of each person who attends the centre, despite his own health problems and coping with being a ‘carer’ himself.
Harry is also no stranger to adopting different guises in the name of charity- known to have abseiled from the Tyne Bridge as Superman and seen “rattling his tin” down Northumberland St as a clown or rabbit. In other word he is a loyal and valued person whom makes a real difference!

Community category winner is Lynn Arkles

Lynn not only supports her own son with Bipolar disorder but also offers support to fellow sufferers, and organises the Manic Depression Fellowship group in Newcastle. Lynn also gives her time to support projects educating people with Bipolar illness and gives her time to nurses working with people.
