Children’s charity launches awards to help disabled and disadvantaged kids across Greater Manchester

A new awards evening to support disadvantaged and disabled kids across Greater Manchester and the North West is being launched by children’s charity Variety. Each year the charity hosts the national PROPS Awards, which have helped raise more than £10m for children.

This year Variety is hosting a regional version, the NW PROPS Awards. It will take place at the Hilton Hotel on Deansgate on November 30.

The new ceremony builds on the success of other popular events run by the charity in the North West, including the Legends of Industry dinner. Lyn Staunton, Development Director for Variety, said:“We’ve had such amazing responses from the London PROPS that it just made sense to bring the format up here, especially with the incredible strength of the North West property industry.

“The PROPS is one of the most rewarding and enjoyable events that we run, giving the property sector the chance to have an exciting night while giving back to those children who really need it in our local communities."

The ceremony will offer a chance for the North West’s property professionals to celebrate their successes and support the charity through sponsorships, table bookings and a raffle. The cost of living crisis has hit disadvantaged families across the region, with a recent report revealing children in the North are some of the worst affected.

A number of high profile leaders in the North West property sector have already pledged their time and support for the cause for the new awards ceremony as part of the board. Mark Bailey, Managing Director for Landwood Group and one of the board members, said: “I'm really proud to support Variety in the fantastic work they do helping disadvantaged children across the North West, and delighted to be involved with NW Props.”

Applications are now open for sponsorships and table bookings. For more information visit Variety’s website.
