The 'Business Hero'

k

In association with

Heroic SME

This award recognises small to medium businesses (1 - 100 employees) who do not make a profit in the area of mental health but are contributing to bettering the lives of their employees or supporting a mental health charity/organisation.

Has your workplace helped you through mental illness? Has your business signed a pledge or set up a support group? Have you supported a mental health charity or promoted the cause in some way? If the answer is yes to any of the above, or you feel your business is a worth winner, tell us about it!

If you want to nominate a business that makes it's primary income in the area of mental health/psychology/therapy then we ask you to see our 'Professional Hero' - business, award category.

Heroic Corporate

Exactly as above, however this award recognises larger businesses with over 100 employees.

Terms

As the organisations involved in these awards work in the mental health community and touch the lives of 'heroes' every day, it would be folly for us not to accept entries from people who have had contact with any of us. However, in the interest of fairness there are a few rules we ask you to adhere to.
