The Trust’s Renal Unit was among charity workers and community heroes honoured at an awards night held by the Balham and Tooting Community Association.

The annual celebration was held on 24 November where presentations were made to individuals, teams and public sector representatives. Tooting MP Rosena Allin-Khan and the Mayor of Wandsworth also attended.

The Renal Unit won the Outstanding Service award. Marlene Johnson, Matron for Renal Services at the Trust, said: “We’re really privileged to have been given this award which recognises the care we give to our patients in Balham, Tooting and beyond. I’m so proud of the team.”
