2009 Impact on the Community Awards

Trent & Dove's “Impact on the Community Awards” event has taken place with individuals and organizations being recognized for their community engagement and helping to create vibrant communities within East Staffordshire.

Finalists in each of the eleven awards categories joined together with event sponsors and organizers in “red carpet” celebrations that were held at the Branston Golf and Country club.

The event recognizes those individuals or organizations whose actions have had an impact on our communities, making them better places to live, or have enhanced individual lives. Much of this work happens behind the scenes and adds value to the work done by Trent & Dove in managing neighbourhoods in East Staffordshire, helping it to fulfill its mission of transforming homes, lives and neighbourhoods.

We would like to acknowledge our event sponsors for their help in making the evening special and extend our congratulations to all the finalists.
