Congratulations to all the shortlisted entrants!

"It has been an exciting few weeks for the judges reviewing all the entries to This Can Happen Awards 2023. The pandemic increased the focus on mental wellbeing for many organisations and recent world events have only served to continue this. We have seen many organisations seeking to support their people against this uncertain backdrop. The number of entries increases each year and it is so important to be able to recognise the great work being done by so many. It has also been impressive to see the range of industries submitting entries. So, congratulations to those that have made the shortlist and we are looking forward to choosing the winners soon."
