Testimonial by Andrew Smith, who attended the 2010 awards ceremony after being nominated by his son Matthew and scooped the Charity Champion title.
Andrew Smith, who attended the 2010 awards ceremony after being nominated by his son Matthew and scooped the Charity Champion title, said: “I was very impressed with the evening. It was great.
“I think it’s a good idea. I wasn’t expecting anything, but I think a lot of people work hard and give up their time, and people should be recognised for that. Good luck to this year’s entrants!”
