Equality Champion VIP Speaker Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards

I am delighted and honoured be the VIP Speaker at the 2025 Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards in October. 🙏🏽 The Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards showcase the people, organisations and initiatives that help us cope with life. There is still time to submit a nomination for this year’s awards and the deadline is noon on 1 September. Winners will be invited to an awards celebration staged in October by the mental health charity Mind in Bexley and East Kent in collaboration with a range of wellbeing and mental health organisations. Dr Kanodia is an influential campaigner with a history of championing equality and inclusion. Before the event, Dr Kanodia agreed to speak to us for a Q&A so that we could share his inspirational story. I’ll leave you with the words of Alan Turing, the namesake of Turing College recognised by Kent University even before the UK Government offered its apology or Royal Pardon: “Sometimes it is the people no one can imagine anything of who do the things no one can imagine.” We are those people. Let us imagine boldly. Act fearlessly. Because confidence is contagious and if you don’t believe in yourself, how can you expect anyone else to? “Thanks to Dr Kanodia for speaking to us and we look forward greatly to hearing him speak at the 2025 Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards. If you have been inspired by Dr Kanodia’s interview and are thinking about nominating for the Kent Mental Wellbeing Awards, there is still time. Whether it is in school, business, community or family, so many of us have been lucky to have people and organisations with ideas, tips and tactics to help us cope. We should celebrate those mental health and wellbeing champions in our community and share this best practice.
