On 4 November, Sally, Sonja and Annie went to Brent Civic Centre for the Brent Community Champions Awards 2015 ceremony, where Sally was presented with an award for her work on saving Cricklewood Library.

The Brent Community Champions Awards are held annually by Brent Council to honour and recognise individuals who have given outstanding community and voluntary service in Brent.

The award was presented by the Mayor of Brent, Cllr Lesley Jones MBE, who said:

“I am delighted to be a part of the Brent Community Champions Awards 2015.

“The awards are about finding, recognising and celebrating those selfless individuals who contribute so much for the benefit of their communities and our borough.  These volunteers devote their time and energy to helping others in need and have given up days, weeks or even years of their time – quite often overcoming personal difficulties to do so.”

While Sally collected the award, she points out that it was “So great to get this award – which also recognises the hard work of Sonja Nerdrum and Eric Pollock amongst others.”

Well done to Sally, Sonja and Annie (pictured) and all other members of the FoCL team for their hard work.
