“I just wanted to congratulate you on a really successful evening<br />
last night. I attended the awards evening as my daughter had<br />
been selected for an award. It was such a positive experience and<br />
an uplifting event. It was so nice to see the children’s success and<br />
hard work being recognised.” Tammy
