Do you want to say thank you to a member of Good Hope staff?

Graham Comfort

“I want to our staff to get the recognition they deserve. If you know someone or a team that has helped provide outstanding service at Good Hope, please let me know, so I can say a personal thanks with a Chairman’s Award.”

Trust Chairman, Graham Comfort

What awards are made?

Two monthly awards are made - for individual member of staff of the month and team of the month. These then go forward, along with other nominees, to be entered into annual awards, which will be made at a ceremony that takes place during the annual general meeting in September.

What are the categories?

There are eight categories you can choose from. Whatever category you choose, the member or staff or team will be considered for the monthly awards during the year. They will also be considered for the annual awards in their individual categories.
