Excellent news!
Congratulations this is amazing x
On Friday we were honoured to attend the @powysawardsbusi having been shortlisted as finalists in the Social Enterprise and Charity category for the success and impact of our Cancer Champions work.
It was a great opportunity to meet other people and organisations working hard to benefit others in #powys and while we were not overall winners this time we're very proud to have been recognised in this way.
Huge well done in particular to Helen Davies for her dedication to raising awareness about cancer in the region.
