Iain Sim, chief executive of Coast & Country, said: “At Coast & Country we are proud to offer a variety of volunteering opportunities to help people find the right one for them.
“Volunteering provides people with the chance to try something new, gain experience, develop skills, improve their career prospects, build confidence and meet new people.
“It makes a real difference to an individual and to the lives of other people and we were delighted to acknowledge every single one of our 60 volunteers at the awards, and highlight those who have done something extra special.”
The event, held at Cleveland Golf Club, was organised by housing apprentice Faye Daniels, with the help of staff and apprentices from across Coast & Country.
