Double business award win for Grantham charity is âextremely rewardingâ Published: 12:00, 13 March 2021
A sports, education and wellbeing charity claimed a double award win at this yearâs Journal Business Awards as its team rose to the challenge of delivering services online.
Inspire+ were named Business of the Year, as well as winning the inaugural Covid-19 Bounce Back award, sponsored by Oldrids and Downtown, and Iliffe Media respectively.
After planned services were suspended by lockdown, Inspire+ offered its coaches and ambassadors to schools for free to continue to virtually encourage mental and physical wellbeing in children.
