St Andrew’s Pantomime Group is among forty Yorkshire based community groups to have had their work recognised by a major royal award scheme.
The Duke of York’s Community Initiative is presented annually to community groups and charities from across the whole of Yorkshire who, following rigorous assessment, are deemed to be: “of real value to the community, well run and an inspiration to others.”
This year’s award ceremony was attended by over two hundred award holders, assessors and guests and held at Bridlington Spa’s Royal Hall.
Speaking at the event HRH the Duke of York talked of how over the years the Initiative had sought to extend its remit. It now not only recognises and rewards outstanding community work, but in so doing it seeks to enhance society by encouraging award holders to continue to do all they can to break down barriers between both organisations and organisation and people and people.
The Duke of York’s Community Initiative is open to all Yorkshire based community groups. To find out more visit www.thedukeofyorkscommunityinitiative.org.uk/
