Celebrating the fantastic contribution volunteers, charities and community groups make in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. It’s time for us to celebrate the truly amazing inspirational leaders, unsung heroes and those that have gone above and beyond.
We are honoured to have the generous support from Market Harborough Building Society and would like to thank them for being our Headline Sponsor for The VAL Awards 2023.
This awards night is the only local event to recognise the achievements of the voluntary sector. This is a great opportunity for local businesses to show how invested they are in their local communities.
