Brent Community Champions Awards
OUTSTANDING individuals who work tirelessly for their communities have been officially recognised for their acts of goodwill.
Winners were presented certificates to honour their wide-ranging voluntary and public spirited efforts during the Brent Community Champions Awards held at Brent Town Hall last Wednesday.
Recipients included thoughtful neighbours, good samaritans, volunteers, carers and charity workers. More than 600 invited guests including councillors, charity workers, friends and family of the winners attended.
Councillor Ralph Fox, making his last appearance as mayor before handing the responsibility over to Councillor Jim O'Sullivan, presented the awards.
He said: "It was a great honour for me to give out these awards as my last duty as mayor of Brent. Over the last year I have met many residents across the borough who have given their own time to help others. They have impressed me, not just for their commitment to their activities, but for their values in being so dedicated to their voluntary work. It was a very exciting and memorable night for us all."
