The Community Transport Awards 2019
The Community Transport Awards 2019
This year we were thrilled to hold the the Community Transport Awards a part of CT ’19, CTA’s brand new two day event bringing together CTA members and friends from all parts of the UK to network, lean, share and celebrate the amazing work of our sector.
At the awards, Bill Freeman, Chief Executive of the CTA said:
“I am proud and privileged to spend all day, every day, talking about the difference you all make for the communities you serve. Once in a while its good to stand back and take stock. To demonstrate the difference you make and to celebrate it as well.
There are so many big questions facing our country and our communities – about how we are to live fulfilling lives, be happy, be healthy, feel connected, feel that we belong. For so many of those big questions, community transport can be part of the answer. Not just in the services we provide, but in the spirit and style in which we work. Running our organisations and services in partnership with the people who benefit from them. Involving our users in the democracy of our organisations. Self-help, self-responsibility, solidarity and equality – living and breathing these values-day in, day out.
As we heard in our conference, people are saying that how transport should be tomorrow is just like community transport is today. So in celebrating our sector tonight we are also showing we are confident about the part we can play tomorrow, next week, next year and beyond.”
