EBE Director wins Fundraiser of the Year at VAL Awards

EBE Director, Chris Shaw, was honoured at the recent Voluntary Action Leicestershire Awards evening, where he picked up the fundraiser of the year trophy for Leicester and Leicestershire. Sponsored by PPL, the award recognises contributions to the fundraising profession and performance throughout the year. Chris fought off stiff competition from fellow nominees, Darren Bradbury (Furnley House) and Arif Vorjai (Help the Homeless), but with £750k and counting incoming this year, it was a tall order to topple!

Chris dedicated his win to the various groups he supports, especially those grassroots organisations in the some of the most deprived parts of the city and county.
