Adjudicators' Citation:

We are a voluntary organisation founded in 1970 to promote positive mental health. We actively support persons with a mental illness and their families by identifying their needs and advocating their rights. For almost 40 years we have provided top quality accommodation in the community for persons with mental health problems. Our ethos is based on the spirit  of volunteerism and it is totally reliant on the time given unselfishly by the many volunteers who form the backbone of the organisation.

PROSPER is a Genio Trust funded project undertaken by the Mayo Recovery consortium, a collaborative working group of Mayo Advocacy Group (Service user) and voluntary sector service provider ( MAYO MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION) in collaboration with the HSE (Mayo Mental Health Services.) The group provides strategic direction for recovery policy to Mayo Mental Health Services and operational guidance to the Mayo Rehabilitation and Recovery Team.
