Recognising our amazing staff and volunteers

Wed, 26 - October - 2022

The 2022 Making a Difference celebration event recently took place at the Dunsilly Hotel, Antrim. This event was an opportunity for staff, volunteers, clients and carers to come together and celebrate many of the successes of MindWise over the past year. A huge thanks go out to all of our speakers, contributors and team for organising the event.  This year's event took client engagement to another level, being co-hosted by Laura who attends our Downpatrick service.
