The Healthwatch Recognition Awards Podcast

Healthwatch Kent and Medway are proud to present our new joint podcast!

Have a listen and we hope it inspires you to start thinking about which impactful projects and inspiring individuals you would like to nominate for the Kent & Medway Healthwatch Recognition Awards 2025.

New Podcast for the Kent & Medway Healthwatch Recognition Awards 2025

For the past three years, EK360 has proudly sponsored the Kent & Medway Healthwatch Recognition Awards.

Healthwatch is in the unique position to have a system-wide view that can share hidden pockets of brilliance. The awards provide the opportunity to shine a spotlight on work and individuals that improve the lives of local people.

We are thrilled to confirm that this annual event will be returning in 2025, where the people, innovations and collaborations – that not only listen to the public, but also deliver impactful projects across Kent and Medway – will again be deservedly recognised.

To support this occasion, we cannot wait to share our brand new podcast series, where we listen to, and learn from, the winners of this year’s Kent & Medway Healthwatch Recognition Awards.
 

Laura Hope Cordell

For the inaugural pod, we were delighted to be in conversation with Laura Hope Cordell, Volunteer Executive Director of Kindness Community CIC, who was recognised in the Excellence in Empowered Communities category for her ceaseless energy in the community, along with the distribution of ‘Kindness Kits’ to those struggling with mental and physical health.
