Thames Hospice, in Hatch Lane, held its Making a Difference Awards at Eton Dorney Rowing Club on Thursday, to say thank you to the many people who help the organisation.
More than 100 nominations were made by people involved with Thames Hospice for those deserving of recognition.
Jackie Geeson, the organisation's director of HR and awards organiser, said: "Our awards were an opportunity for us to recognise and say thank you to the staff and volunteers who make a difference to our organisation every day.
Face of the charity's Local Lottery campaign Dave Ackroyd, from Windsor, talked at the ceremony about his family's experience with the hospice and gave his heartfelt thanks to the teams of people who supported his family through difficult times.
Jackie added: "I am proud to be part of an organisation which celebrates the contribution and achievements of its staff and volunteers.
"Without them, we could not continue to deliver the excellent services we do for patients and their loved ones in the local community, which is at the heart of everything we do."
