HBTSR awarded Voluntary group/ team of the year at the Heart of Brecon Awards

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!
