The runners up were 1st Barnet for their Band work within the local community and 2nd/3rd/10th Enfield & 4th Barnet for their support of the local Help for Hunger campaign. Also the Fundraisers of the Year Award was won by 10th Enfield for their efforts raising over £15,000 for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice through their Christmas Collection, and the runners up were 1st Slough for their efforts in supporting Smile Uganda.

We also launched our Lifetime Achievement Awards to recognise exceptional leaders who have served faithfully for 30+ years.
