People First are delighted to announce that Borderway Finance will be the headline sponsor for this year’s People First Awards; marking the third consecutive year of their incredible support.
As a headline sponsor, Borderway Finance have a vital role in making these awards possible by helping us shine a light on the people and stories of our learners in the People First Academy. Their continued support means we can continue to celebrate the incredible work each of our learners and candidates do across all the academy’s courses; Hospitality Academy, Independent Travel Training, Best Life and Creating Careers.
Over the last three years, Borderway Finance have raised over £9,000 for People First’s projects, including our Creating Careers programme which supports people with a learning disability and autistic people to secure and succeed in permanent paid work over the next three years.
Natalie, Partnerships Manager reflecting on the announcement shared;
“We’re absolutely delighted that Borderway Finance have confirmed that they would like to sponsor our Learner Awards for the third year running. The Awards, and the celebration of our learners and their achievements and qualifications, wouldn’t be possible without the support from Borderway Finance and our other business sponsors.
Borderway Finance have been a core part of our Learner Awards, since we launched our inaugural flagship Awards at The Halston in 2023 and it’s a real joy to continue working with them.
From everybody at People First, thank you for your continued support, it is hugely appreciated.”
Mike Deans, Managing Director at Borderway Finance said;
“I’m delighted, along with my Borderway Finance colleagues, to be able to support this important initiative for the 3rd consecutive year highlighting the achievements of the People First learners, and helping shine a light on the work that People First do in creating training and employment opportunities for these young adults.
The Borderway team are passionate about supporting this local charity giving up their spare time to raise funds through sponsored events from friends, family and colleagues. As a local business, it’s a privilege to extend that support as headline sponsor.
I encourage any business to consider how they could get involved.”
The People First Awards is our flagship event and we’re looking to work alongside a team of sponsors with a county-wide influence and reach. If that’s you, we want to work collaboratively with you, our partners, to ensure this event is a huge success.
