Local mental health non-profit organisation Cup-O-T: Wellness and Therapy Services has won national recognition at the Occupational Therapy Excellence Awards 2025, taking home three major honours, including the prestigious Grand Prix Award for overall excellence.

Held in Birmingham on June 20th, the awards celebrate innovation and impact across the therapy sector. Cup-O-T was recognised for its ground-breaking Peer Support Worker Training Programme, receiving:

~Merit for Excellence in the Charity Sector

~Winner: Excellence in Training

~Grand Prix Award for Overall OT Excellence

Cup-O-T’s award-winning Peer Support Worker (PSW) Training equips individuals, educators, charities, and businesses to deliver safe, structured mental health support through the power of peer connection. It is a Norfolk-based non-profit supporting young people and communities through holistic mental health services, workshops, and peer-led training.

The training blends therapeutic insight with practical tools and emotional safety. Delegates have gone on to launch support groups, secure jobs, and lead community initiatives.

“Since the course, I’ve started a film group and help run a neurodiverse Facebook and WhatsApp community. It’s really empowered me to take initiative,” said one PSW Delegate.

“I now run an adult woodland group for 18–24-year-olds – something I wouldn’t have had the confidence to do before,” said another.

Cup-O-T is now accepting applications for its autumn training intake in Norwich, with an online option launching in early 2026.
