Fulflood Ball raises £17,029.39

The Fulflood Ball have raised £17,000 for Trinity to continue to provide Saturday morning breakfast for people who are sleeping rough. This service, along with others that we offer, is crucial for our clients, and donations such as this ensure we can continue to offer a hot and nutritious breakfast on Saturdays.

We are extremely grateful to the Fulflood Ball committee for selecting Trinity to benefit from this fantastic event, and for raising vital funds to support the homeless and other vulnerable people. This was a truly special event for Trinity and we are very thankful to all the sponsors and supporters who made it possible.

This award was created by The Queen in 2002 to celebrate the anniversary of the Queen’s coronation, recognising excellence in voluntary activities carried out by groups in the community. It is the MBE for volunteer groups.

The work your group does for the community was very much admired by the independent Assessment Committee, chaired by Sir Martyn Lewis CBE and I am delighted to inform you that your group has been selected as a recipient for The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS) 2018.

 

The award of The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service 2018 represents a tremendous achievement for your organisation. We hope that everyone involved, and particularly your volunteers, feel immensely proud of the recognition that this Award represents.

We are extremely proud to receive this award in recognition of the positive work our volunteers accomplish everyday. Trinity’s work could not continue without the support of over 70 volunteers who support the drop in centre, women’s service, fundraising and admin, plus all of our trustees and advocates.

Thank you all for your support.
