In February we held our first ever Autism Together Awards – and what a fantastic evening it was!
The event primarily celebrated the immense contribution of our staff teams, but also of the people we support who achieve so much every day, and our valued supporters too.
Set within the grand surroundings of the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton – the venue looked great and guests all had a brilliant time.
Big thanks to the Fundraising Team for organising the event, the staff at the Floral Pavilion, and all our corporate supporters for helping us put it on.
Thanks also to our host for the evening, Radio City’s Leanne Campbell, and to the Mayor of Wirral, Councillor Jerry Williams, and Mayoress Irene Williams.
Huge congratulations to all those nominated, shortlisted and, of course to the winners of our very first Autism Together Awards.
Here is the full list of awards and finalists, with the winners highlighted in bold. Don’t miss our photo gallery from the ceremony below too…
