Annual Land Trust Managing Partners Awards celebration

On Wednesday 28 June, the Land Trust held its annual Managing Partners Awards at the Quays Hotel in Sheffield. This evening of celebration is a chance to share many of the fantastic accomplishments from the past year across the 80+ sites the Land Trust owns and manages in partnership with its managing partners, volunteers and community groups.

Congratulations to all the award winners and highly commended sites, as always it was extremely difficult to pick this year’s winners, with so many stand out achievements across all that were shortlisted for the 12 awards.

Alan Carter Chief Executive of the Land Trust said: “The Managing Partners Awards is one of my favourite events in the year as teams come together for an evening filled with celebration for the achievements of last 12 months. It really does makes me feel incredibly proud of the work the Land Trust delivers together with its managing partners.

“The improvements we are making together to the environment and the difference we are making within local communities and economy across the country is amazing. With so many incredible things happening year on year, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to choose the winners for each award.

“I would like to say a massive thank you to all of the managing partners, volunteers and community groups for their work and support across Land Trust sites, what you have achieved this past year is truly brilliant. ”
