Every year for the last 14 years the BCT ( Blacon Community Trust ) have celebrated local people by organising an annual award ceremony. Dan Marsh, one of our Fellows, has recently been nominated for an award with the BCT so was sent an invite to their award ceremony on Friday 19th November 2010.
Local Councilors, head teachers, schoolchildren, residents and community groups were joined by Chester MP Stephen Mosley, to witness the 14th Awards ceremony in honour of volunteers and people who help bring about change to the lives of others.
