A YORK-BASED firm, founded in the city almost 20 years ago, is to honour dedicated charity fundraisers at this year’s York Community Pride Awards - for the seventh time. Pryers Solicitors are returning to support The Press’s Community Pride awards, as the official sponsor for the Charity Fundraiser of the Year category. The organisation is encouraging residents to nominate people who have used innovative fundraising methods and put personal effort in to support good causes in the city. Carmel Walsh, partner at Pryers, said: “Pryers have a long history of supporting the Community Pride Awards because we recognise how important it is to shine a light on the incredible feats that ordinary people in our local community are performing.
A CHARITY which aims to inspire social change is urging people to nominate community projects that have had an impact in their neighbourhood. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF), an independent organisation working to solve UK poverty, is supporting the Best Community Project at this year’s Community Pride Awards. Claire Townson, director of corporate services at JRF, said: We are delighted to once again sponsor the best community project at the Community Pride Awards. Our York heritage is important to us and we welcome the opportunity to continue to support local projects. Now more than ever, communities are so important, and we know that small projects can make big differences.
