On Thursday 17 September, our founder and Chairman Mark and Jena from ATG Group bundled Charity Manager Alison into the car for a road trip to an awards ceremony in Belfast. ATG Group, the business founded by Mark that has supported Ashes to Gold from the start, had been shortlisted as a finalist in the Impact in the Community category.
We didn’t take home the trophy this time, but we are incredibly proud to have reached the final. Our category included some of the biggest and best-known names around, so being shortlisted alongside them was a real honour and a testament to the work carried out through Ashes to Gold and the wider ATG family.
We don’t need an award to tell us how remarkable our people, projects and participants are. Every day we see lives changed, confidence restored, friendships built and communities strengthened. That is what matters most.
A huge thank you to everyone who supports our work, attends our projects, volunteers their time or champions what we do. This recognition belongs to all of you.
Congratulations to all the winners and finalists. We’re already looking forward to what comes next.
