Last week was the beginning of an exciting November as we attended the Rossendale Business Awards 2015 and the Lancashire Boys & Girls Clubs awards.
We were a finalist in the Rossendale Business Awards in the Part-time Business category and were happy to meet the other finalists in a thoroughly enjoyable evening at the Whitworth Civic Hall.
Meanwhile, our volunteers were in Blackburn receiving certificates and awards! Wonderful Things received a certificate to recognise our affiliation with Lancashire Boys & Girls Clubs and Rabia Begum, one of our Youth Volunteers and pupil at Alder Grange High School, was awarded Junior Member of the Year! We are particularly delighted for Rabia and Wonderful Things as these award winners are chosen from members all over Lancashire. Rabia said "When I heard my name I just sat there for a few seconds and when I got up to go to the stage my legs were shaking! I had my picture taken with the Mayor of Blackburn." All the Youth Volunteers attending had a great evening out together.
Next is the Selnet Awards.... Wonderful Things is a finalist in the Enabling Ability category of the SELNET Awards 2015. We are really excited about attending these awards - wish us luck!!
