Launched in 2018, the SoGlos Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards have grown to become the biggest celebration of the county's lifestyle sector – with 2023 marking the exciting sixth year of SGGLA. This year was our first time applying as we thought we had lots to proudly shout about in our 30^th Anniversary year!

It was a real pleasure to attend the awards ceremony at Dunkerton’s Organic Cider last week - where we were able to try some of the great food options and mingle with the guests from the best and most forward-thinking businesses and organisations from across the county.

It was an exciting evening hearing all the winners and runners-up for the different categories announced and seeing the happy winners collect their awards – the charity award was one of the last to be announced so the anticipation kept on building as the evening went on!

We were delighted to be announced as highly commended finalists of the charity award and are so grateful to everyone who voted for us. It is a wonderful way to start the celebrations for our 30^th anniversary year.

Thanks to SoGlos for putting on a great event, the young adult carer who attended with us had a really enjoyable evening and especially loved the goody bags we were sent home with filled with exciting samples from Gloucestershire businesses!
