Big thanks also to the Civic Hall staff for their support on the day, and to our brilliant partners Centre for Inclusive Living Perth and Kinross (https://www.cilpk.org.uk/) and PKAVS (https://www.pkavs.org.uk/) for teaming up with us to make this happen.
Fifteen PAs were recognised for their outstanding work. We were all so touched reading the beautiful words shared about them—you are truly inspiring!
We were thrilled to see David Melville and our very own Colleen nominated, along with Arron Bryce, Nicola Boyne, and Elizabeth Bridge, who was awarded the top prize—a £50 M&S voucher generously donated by PKAVS, and a mega bottle of fizz kindly donated by Mark Bates Insurance.
Mark Bates also generously donated a large box of chocolates and beautiful flowers, which went to our two brilliant runners-up.
After reading Elizabeth’s nomination and having spoken to her, we all felt she was so deserving of this recognition and treat.
