Paul awarded a Points of Light award by the Prime Minister

Paul awarded a Points of Light award by the Prime Minister

Paul, our founder, was thrilled to hear that he’d been recognised as a ‘Point of Light’ by receiving one of the Prime Minister’s daily awards. These awards are given to people who are making a change in their community and inspiring others. The aim is to encourage volunteering and the value it brings to the country.

Congratulating Paul on his award, Peter Kyle, MP for Hove, said:

“This Award is a brilliant recognition of Paul’s work. These things take hard work and dedication and don’t happen by accident – well done Paul, and thank you on behalf of everyone in Sussex who is benefiting from this genuinely amazing idea.”

Paul said he was of course delighted to receive this recognition but wanted to also pay tribute to all the staff team and all our volunteers who play such a huge role in making the work of the charity have an impact.
