Excitement is really building at NW Hearts Charity as we put the final touches to our upcoming Excellence Awards, taking place at the stunning Manchester Hall on Thursday 5 February.

Following our final site visit today, it’s safe to say the venue has truly raised the bar. The beautiful chandeliers took centre stage the moment we walked in — delivering the “Lights” promised in our headline — and setting the perfect backdrop for a night that will celebrate excellence, dedication and impact across our community.

We also found the ideal spot for a photo booth, ensuring plenty of opportunities to capture memories from the evening — cue the “Camera”! We’re delighted that the photo booth is being generously donated by CC5 Visuals, whose support will help make the event even more special for our guests.

With the venue confirmed, the finishing touches coming together, and anticipation growing by the day, we are almost ready for Action. We can’t wait to welcome our nominees, supporters and partners to what promises to be a memorable evening at Manchester Hall.
