Celebrating Hull volunteers at the Neighbourhood Network Awards & 10th Birthday celebration event

Thank you to everyone who attended our 2021 Awards and 10^th Birthday celebration event, what a fantastic night it was!!

Congratulations to all the award winners and a big thank you to everyone who were shortlisted and joined in with the celebrations.  The team had a fantastic time, chatting with all the guests and seeing all the smiling faces across the room.

The event could not have taken place without the fantastic support of the sponsors: KWL, PBS Construction and the Tribune Trust.  Thank you!

The team would also like to thank special guests, Dave Rawding, Lou Duffy-Howard, Matthew Wright, Terry Carter and Colin Havercroft who played an instrumental part in the formation of the charity back in 2011 without their vision, passion and ethos in supporting people in the heart of the communities of Hull the Neighbourhood Network would not be where it is today, Thank you!
