Tia’s Crown Mental Health Champions Awards

At Tia’s Crown, we believe that supporting mental health and emotional well-being takes passion, dedication, and heart. Through our free Let’s Dance sessions and community initiatives, we see first-hand the transformational impact that movement, connection, and empathy can bring to people’s lives.
​
The Mental Health Champions Awards were created to shine a bright light on the extraordinary individuals, groups, and organisations across the North West who go above and beyond to support mental health, challenge stigma, and build safe, supportive spaces for others.
​
Whether it is a local volunteer, a forward-thinking business, a grassroots movement, or a dedicated educator, these awards celebrate those making a real, lasting difference in our communities.
