It was smiles all round for HILT at Hackney Voluntary Action’s annual awards ceremony on 11th June.

HILT volunteers won two of the main awards.

Rosie Lee (left), who volunteers with HILT’s Occupational Team, won the Young Gifted and Volunteering Award.

Kyu-June Shim (right) won the Volunteer of the Year Award. Kyu-June spent six months volunteering at Rotheley House and now volunteers in HILT’s Outreach Team.

Awards were presented by the Speaker of Hackney, Geoffrey Taylor and Adrian Pettigrew, a Chelsea football player.

Other HILT volunteers received runners-up certificates and certificates recognising their special achievements.

The awards ceremony was a glamorous affair held at Barbican and sponsored by a city law firm. A jazz pianist played background music, and there was plenty of great food and drink.

Hackney Voluntary Action organises this annual event in order to recognise the achievements of volunteers at the many voluntary organisations based in Hackney.

HILT would like to congratulate Rosie, Kyu-June and all the other volunteers and say how proud we all are of them.
