What a fantastic evening at the VAL Awards 2026! 🌟

A huge congratulations to all the finalists and winners, whose dedication and contribution to our communities is truly inspiring. We were especially proud to see one of our own volunteers recognised as a finalist for Volunteer of the Year.

A big thank you to the VAL team, and to Kevin and Rupal for hosting such a wonderful evening celebrating the incredible work taking place across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.

Our Director, Dr Santosh Bhanot, was delighted to attend and celebrate alongside so many inspiring individuals and organisations.

A special thank you to Gambit Insurance Solutions for kindly inviting Dr Bhanot and for giving her such a warm welcome at their table. It was greatly appreciated.
