The Mental Health Specialist Award celebrates individuals and teams in the social care sector who demonstrate exceptional expertise, leadership, and compassion in supporting people living with mental health conditions.

Cygnet's Supported Living in Leeds opened in January 2024 and has already made a remarkable impact.

Developed in partnership with Leeds City Council, the 18-bed facility provides adults with learning disabilities and complex needs a pathway to greater independence, with 14 self-contained apartments and four bungalows forming a safe, community-based environment.

The service supports individuals transitioning from hospital or long-stay care to a more independent life.
