Cross Keys Homes (CKH) held its fifth festive Awards Night to shine the light on those residents who have not only achieved incredible things for themselves, but for their neighbours and communities.
The city’s largest landlord awarded residents who received nominations from their neighbours for their commitment to making a difference with more than 100 people attending the event. The red carpet was even laid out to greet the guests when they arrived.
Popular former DJ, Keith Dalton, hosted the evening with each of Cross Keys Homes’ Directors presenting one of the awards.
Chief Executive of Cross Keys Homes, Claire Higgins, said: “Many congratulations to all the worthy winners and runners-up. It was another fantastic evening with lots of residents being awarded for their hard work and commitment to making a positive difference.
“I know it’s always a challenge for the judging panel to choose the winners from the shortlisted nominees as there are so many heart-warming stories but it was fantastic to see residents receiving the recognition they deserve. It was a lovely evening and very enjoyable for all”
