Healthy n Happy’s Executive Director Mark Soanes accepted the award, alongside Susie Heywood of Suicide Prevention Scotland and Nicola Reed of Cruse Scotland.
Healthy n Happy Community Development Trust was delighted to win a ‘Saving Lives’ award at 1st Class Credit Union’s Money Made Human Awards.
This was in recognition of their Creating Hope In Our Community campaign, which promotes positive mental health and suicide prevention across Cambuslang and Rutherglen, through creative, engaging and impactful activities.
Held at Hampden Park, the awards highlighted what it truly means to be human, through local connections that are made, communities that are strengthened and lives that are enriched, recognising the impact that can be made together.
Healthy n Happy’s Executive Director Mark Soanes accepted the award, alongside Susie Heywood of Suicide Prevention Scotland and Nicola Reed of Cruse Scotland.
Mark said: “A huge thank you to 1st Class Credit Union for hosting such a fantastic event, celebrating local people and organisations that are making a difference.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this award in recognition of our work to improve mental health and prevent suicide in CamGlen.
“While this recognition means a great deal to us, we know there is still much work to be done in this area. We would encourage local residents, organisations, community groups, charities and businesses to become part of this vital movement, so together we can continue responding to local need and creating hope within our local communities.”
