On 4th July at the Brecon Guildhall, HBTSR volunteers Rowland Jepson, Lis Lifford and Gaynor Hooper accepted an award on behalf of HBTSR. Rowland said’ It was a hot evening and in the category of volunteer group/team there were about 20 nominations ; all sounded very worthy winners. We were amazed when we were announced as the winning group and very proud to accept the award. We were given a beautiful glass trophy, made at the Gate Glassworks in Brecon, and we will have a re-done framed certificate due to misspelling issues!’. Lis added, ‘It was a long evening with lots of clapping . It was very exciting and unexpected to win the accolade against strong competition. It was wonderful to have such recognition of our work with people seeking sanctuary at a time when this section of the population are so stigmatised and marginalised . This felt especially important. ‘
So HBTSR are officially the best voluntary group!
