🏆 EREWASH COMMUNITY GROUP OF THE YEAR 2026 🏆
Sponsored by Erewash Borough Council
We’re delighted to announce that the winner of this year’s Erewash Community Group of the Year Award is…
🎉 The Will Garvey Trust Foundation 🎉
The award was accepted by Joanna Garvey on behalf of the organisation.
💙 The Foundation works tirelessly to support young people, families and communities through education, awareness and initiatives that help improve mental health and wellbeing.
Their dedication to making a positive difference across our communities has touched countless lives and inspired many people to seek support, start conversations and support one another.
Congratulations to Joanna and everyone involved with The Will Garvey Trust Foundation on this well-deserved recognition. 👏
Here’s what Jo Garvey our CEO said in response:
“We are absolutely thrilled to receive the Erewash Community Group of the Year Award for 2026. It’s a real honour for us and is testament to the hard work of our amazing volunteers working to prevent young suicide in our community.
We have been supported right from the beginning by the team at Erewash Voluntary Action in all areas and thank them for believing in what we are trying to achieve.
We had a fantastic time at the Community Celebration Event at Long Eaton (besides receiving the award) where we met lovely people and had important conversations about suicide prevention.
Look out for each other and know there is support in our communities.”
