The Brenda's 09

It was great to see so many people enjoying themselves at The Burlington for the 2009 Brenda Awards, organised for the fourth year running by Jilly, Ed Gamble (Jones Lang) and Simon Robinson (GBR).

The event was a huge success and yet again the commitee provided an afternoon of hilarity at the expense of a some Midland’s property professionals.  Only a few got to take home a coveted Golden Gnome Award but they were all great sports and we are expecting them all back next year!

The recession seemed to have no impact on the generousity of the guests who raised a staggering £18,000 plus for the Property for Kids charity. The money raised will provide much needed filming and editing equipment for Ladywood based charity The News Team. TNT produces regular video news programmes for local schools and the community in the area of Ladywood. The children involved research stories, write scripts, film and edit these news programmes about what is happening in their local community.  They use the media format to learn and contribute to community life and the projects also draw on important skills in the national curriculum.

A big thanks to everyone who supported The Brendas – see you next year!
