Back Up Awards Ceremony
Don’t miss our annual Back Up awards ceremony on the Saturday evening! Every year at the Ball we take the opportunity to recognise the incredible work and support of our volunteers and fundraisers.

This year more than ever we have needed your support and we cannot wait to announce the winners and give them a massive virtual round of applause!
