Four Bath businesses are showing their support for local carers by sponsoring the B&NES Carers’ Centre annual awards night, Celebrating Carers.
Stone King, the headline sponsor, have made a generous donation to enable the centre to recognise the unsung heroes in the local community.
Minuteman Press Bath, Moneywise and Gerard Financial Services have also all agreed to sponsor an award for the evening.
The Celebrating Carers evening is being held on the 9th October at the Fry’s Club in Keynsham.
The Carers’ Centre supports over 4,000 people who are carers in Bath and North East Somerset.
The awards aim to recognise carers who have made contributions to their local community whilst managing a caring role, as well as community partners such as schools, businesses and volunteers who have gone the extra mile to help carers or the Carers’ Centre.
There are also two awards dedicated to young carers; an arts-based project and a ‘making a difference’ award.
Alison Allen, partner at Stone King, says the firm is proud to support BANES Carer’s Centre by sponsoring Celebrating Carers.
‘The awards ceremony gives us and the wider community a chance to recognise and thank individuals, local organisations and business for their incredible contribution to caring.
“The awards give all of us a chance to say thank you to individual carers, both young and old, who take that extra step to support those in their local community,” said Alison.
‘We will also be able to recognise organisations, such as schools, GP surgeries and businesses who help carers in their supporting role.
“Stone King has played a part in Bath’s community for over 200 years and the firm welcomes the opportunity to be a part of Celebrating Carers 2015,” she added.
The Carers’ Centre would like to thank Stone King, Minuteman Press, Moneywise and Gerard Financial Services for their generous contributions.
