Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Trust ‘Making a Difference’ awards evening was held on February 1st 2013 at Hardwick Hall, hosted by BBC Breakfast presenter and TVA patron Steph McGovern. The “Making a Difference’ award are the Trust’s annual staff awards which celebrate the dedication, achievements and successes of individual staff and teams across the Trust.
We were delighted that The Evergreen Centre at West Lane Hospital, Middlesbrough won in the partnership working category for its work with Tees Valley Arts to engage young people with eating disorders – using art and writing to express their feelings and to develop a book which is used as a therapeutic tool. Thanks to Joe Dunne and Laura Degnan, who worked as visual artist and writer on the project.
