As part of the award, Marshgate PSA will receive £1,000 towards its fundraising pot.

The current committee's term comes to an end in July, with the majority of its core members having recently committed to continue for another 12 months, including Chair Tom Panagos, who has been spearheading the team since January 2022.

Marshgate PSA will have the award on display during its Summer Fair, its biggest fundraising event of the year, which takes place on Saturday, July 1.
