The annual ReachOut Volunteer Thank You Event (VTYE) is one of our favourite nights of the year. It’s an opportunity for us to bring all of our wonderful volunteers together and show how much we appreciate their hard work, commitment and resilience.
The North-West VTYE took place on Thursday 4th April at the UK Fast campus in Manchester. We were so pleased to have over 70 Mentors and Project Leaders in attendance from projects in Manchester, Oldham and Liverpool. After some drinks, nibbles and mingling, everyone headed into the auditorium for the awards ceremony. Congratulations to all of our award winners, listed below.
