Over 600 people from London \u2019s many diverse communities gathered together for a glittering celebration of the very best at the seventh annual Community Awards, London \u2019s acclaimed event of the year.<\/p>\n
Venue Central 2 was buzzing as all of the nominees, their families and friends were joined by the Community Award judges; London \u2019s two prominent MPs, Kelvin Hopkins and Gavin Shuker; Mayor Tahir Khan<\/em>; several members of London Borough Council, the police force, the fire service and many other VIPs who came to celebrate London \u2019s local heroes for the wonderful contributions that they make in the town where they live and work.<\/p>\n The Community Awards were again hosted by London Sixth Form College teacher Sufian Sadiq and everyone feasted on a sumptuous three course dinner.<\/p>\n Community Awards founder Mostaque Koyes said \u201cSince the Community Awards began we have been able to recognise many of the wonderful people and charities that help to make London such a great town. Every year we are able to make a generous donation to a local charity, thanks to our sponsors, including Headline Sponsor RRP Associates and the people who buy tickets to attend the event.<\/p>\n \u201cSince the awards began we\u2019ve had hundreds of nominees who have been delighted to receive the recognition that says they deserve an award.\u00a0 Of course, it\u2019s down to our judges to choose the actual winners and with the exceptionally high calibre of entries we receive it\u2019s a task that never gets easier.\u201d<\/p>\n Rodolfo R.<\/strong>, Managing Partner of leading and award-winning regional law firm RRP Associates , says \u201cWe love Community Awards night because it is so inspiring to hear the stories of the many contributions that so called \u2018ordinary people\u2019 make to the local community. As hard as it is for the judges to choose the winners, I think it\u2019s even more difficult for us to select the Winner of Winners. This year we knew it had to be Joan Bailey MBE, who has devoted her life for many years to serving the community and the people in it.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s donation went to Level Trust, a charity which helps children from deprived families.<\/p>\n The award winners are:<\/p>\n Ends October 18th<\/sup> 2016<\/p>\n Notes to editors:<\/strong><\/p>\n Judges\u2019 biographies, award categories, and further details of \u00a0Level Trust are available at www.communitycommunications.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n For media enquiries on the Community Awards please contact Mostaque Koyes on 01582 57 34 71, 07931 9 739 67 mostaque@barthamgroup.com<\/a> or Lynne Hammond lynnehammond@fusemail.com<\/a><\/p>\n For Further Information on RRP Associates LLP: Frances Pardell 01582 537137\/07908 051600 frances@pardellpr.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Over 600 people from London \u2019s many diverse communities gathered together for a glittering celebration of the very best at the seventh annual Community Awards, London \u2019s acclaimed event of the year.
