A huge congratulations to our 35 CHuFT Awards finalists, who were revealed in our Chief Executive, Brendan Brown's message last Friday. The finalists were chosen from a record breaking 420 fantastic nominations.
Volunteering Service Lead, Stevie Cheesman, said: "I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw we'd been chosen. I genuinely screamed and got of my chair, danced and then rang my mum to scream too. This means so much. I won the Putting People First category in 2022, so to see this service that I genuinely love in the final is amazing."
In the coming weeks we will be sharing more about each of the categories and finalists, ahead of the event at The Arches at Dean Clough on Thursday, 24th July.
Finalists and golden ticket winners will receive their invitations by the end of the month with all the information they need to know about the event.
