The return of an annual charity award ceremony that recognises stalwarts for their help and commitment was cause for celebration.
Diverse Abilities, the Dorset charity that supports children and adults who are living with disabilities, were delighted to have their Thank You Awards back in full swing at Hoburne Park after a covid-forced hiatus.
ABOVE AND BEYOND: Some of the winners at the Thank You awards
The honours celebrate the extraordinary people connected to the charity, with this year’s winners including Volunteer Of the Year, Pam Harrison ‘for being willing to help all the individuals and employees at The Beehive’, and the award for Staff Team Going Above And Beyond going to the Supported Living On Call Team ‘for dealing with any situation at short notice and handling issues well under pressure’.
Twelve of those supported by the charity scooped up awards for achieving something remarkable and Rosie Kennar, director at Hoburne, said: “We’re thrilled to have been able to host this years’ awards and celebrate the wonderful achievements made by the people supported by the charity, the hard-working staff teams, and local organisations who support the charity”.
Charlotte Holdaway, HR manager, added: “It’s great that the awards have returned. We see the amazing job that our teams across the charity do every day, how committed our volunteers and supporters are and the remarkable achievements that the people we support accomplish throughout the year.
“These awards are a wonderful way to say thank you and celebrate these extraordinary people.”
