Our First Year Celebration

To celebrate our first year of operation, we held an Awards Night to recognise and acknowledge just some of the people who have played such a huge part in our success.  Firstly, a huge thank you to our event sponsors, Ability Consultants.  This night would not have been possible without their generosity. 

Our volunteer Helen hosted the night and delivered a short presentation for those who didn’t already know, of how the charity came about; which was in memory of the wonderful Billy Knott, and the fantastic achievements within our first year. A big thank you to Natalie Kirk our CEO and Natalie Carr our COO for working so hard to get the charity off the ground.  They both said that the thing that they were most proud of was securing new, fit-for-purpose premises which allowed them to provide the services exactly as they envisioned for our clients. 

We were then delighted to welcome the stunningly beautiful and charismatic Miss Bunty Del Mar who then kindly presented our awards.  This was a light-hearted, fun event, but with a heartfelt message; we meant every word of the reasons why our award winners were so deserving.
