2017 Winner: City Hearts UK
The charity, which restore the lives of vunerable and exploited men, women and children, were awarded with the Charity of the Year award at the 2017 Barnsley and Rotherham Business Awards and received a donation of £3000 prize money.
The award sponsor Fortem, who were part of the judging panel for this category said; “The number of volunteers that support charity work in our communities is to be applauded. It’s so difficult to pick a “Charity of the Year” when you are presented with such deserving winners, but when 773 words move you to tears you know you have a winner!
“Enhancing life chances is at the heart of what we do at Fortem and this is certainly the same at City Hearts UK.”
KIRSTY WILSON (SOUTH YORKSHIRE REGIONAL MANAGER OF CITY HEARTS UK)
“We are very thankful and honoured to be chosen as Charity of the Year. The £3,000 donation from Fortem and the Chamber will help us provide a much needed service for trafficked children that have come into the area.”
