Our Head Judges work alongside the Lived Experience Judges, bringing empathy, expertise, and a shared commitment to celebrating the voices and stories that make our communities stronger.
Lived Experience Judges are integral in the selection of the finalists and winners, and are always a welcome support to our Head Judges. You can learn more about our 2026 Lived Experience Judges by reading their bios.
The National Lived Experience Awards are planned by our brilliant events team, made up of service users and residents from mental health, learning disability and autism services across the country.
