On Friday 12th September, we marked the end of our second year with a fantastic celebration at The Assembly House in Norwich.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our achievements, share inspiring stories, and look ahead to the future of the project. We also honoured the dedication and hard work of those who have supported us, presenting awards to individuals who have made a real difference.

A heartfelt congratulations to all our winners—your contributions, both within the organisation and beyond, have been invaluable. We’re excited to build on this momentum as we move into year three! 🚀
