It is an honour to have been recognised by the unLTD team, particularly as this year the event received a record number of entries.
To have received this latest awards recognition is a testament to the fantastic SYCF team, from our donors to staff and trustees, who work tirelessly to ensure we provide funding and support to grassroots groups doing incredible work to improve our local communities.
Congratulations to all the other incredible nominees who have made the shortlist.
