This evening will help us all acknowledge the significant impact that sport and physical activity has made to improve people’s lives. We will recognise and celebrate the hard work and achievements of schools, clubs, community organisations, volunteers and our key partners that are working tirelessly across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland. I would like to especially thank De Montfort University for their support of this highly worthwhile event and we look forward to working with them more closely in the future. Finally, and most importantly, we hope you enjoy your evening and that you will all individually continue the excellent work you do to develop sport and physical activity in Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.
