Our You’re A Star Awards winners, Thanks A Bunch winners and Living our Values winners will receive a hamper courtesy of the event’s supporters.
You’re A Star Awards is a sponsored event and without our supporters, which include the Trust’s Better Lives Charity, Bradford-based Sovereign Health Care, Whitaker and Leach, McAvoy Group, Vigil Security Systems, Adrian Welch Glass and Glazing and Pineapple Furniture, our You’re a Star Awards would not be possible.
