Radio Bath has hosted its first-ever Charity Awards, celebrating the volunteers, charities and organisations making a difference across the city and surrounding areas.
Held at The Pavilion in Bath, the event brought together more than 200 guests, including representatives from local businesses, community groups and charities, for an afternoon recognising exceptional contributions to local life.
Supported by headline sponsor South West Business Finance and partner 3SG, the ceremony featured 17 award categories highlighting remarkable acts of service, commitment and community spirit. Guests enjoyed lunch from Tu Mangetout before the awards began.
Over 100 nominations were received, which were reviewed by a panel of Radio Bath Patrons. Partner Dan Smith from South West Business Finance spoke about the company’s pride in supporting the event and helping to shine a light on local charitable excellence.
Radio Bath co-founder Loraine Morgan-Brinkhurst MBE said: “This has been a wish of Radio Bath’s for a long time, to celebrate the incredible work that local charities, organisations and volunteers do to support so many. It’s important to shine a light on their hard work.”
Steve Fountain from Radio Bath added his thanks to the event sponsors and the station’s patrons for their ongoing support.
The awards, co-hosted by Radio Bath co-founder Simon McNeill-Ritchie and Toni Green from 3SG, mark a milestone for the station as it approaches its fifth anniversary, further cementing its role at the heart of the local community.
