On Saturday 11th October 2025 (just two weeks from today!) the AJN Local Heroes and the Be Inspired Youth Gala & Awards will take place at the Holte Suite of the Aston Villa Football Club.

I am honoured to be part of the show alongside Steve Higgins, Miss Anj Destiny and many more brilliant talents. There is going to be a Rum Punch Reception from 6.30pm, followed by a four-course meal, and then, of course, the awards.
