Winners and runners-up announced
Our finalists gathered at the iconic Tower of London On November 28th to enjoy a day of celebration as we congratulated the winners and runners-up in this year’s Charity Heroes Awards.
It was an inspiring event, hosted by Dr Andy Cope from the Art of Brilliance with speeches from Tom O’Leary from Historic Royal Palaces and Mark Hews, CEO of the Benefact Group. Representatives from around the Benefact Group came to meet the finalists and were thrilled to present the winners’ prizes.
We felt very privileged to welcome so many people who work every day to make such impactful change in the lives of others.
Congratulations our winners and runners-up.
A unforgettable event
Everyone enjoyed a truly inspirational day honouring such amazing people and the charities they represent.
