The awards recognised the very best businesses across the district with 12 awards presented to businesses from a range of sectors. Sovereign Health Care was delighted to win the coveted Business in The Community Award, recognising the positive impact we make in the community.
Our Community Programme donations have totalled £11.7 million over that last 17 years. In 2023, we marked our 150th anniversary by donating a record £1.5 million to 101 community organisations, large and small, working on the front line to support those in need. £970,000 of this was donated to Yorkshire NHS Trusts including £500,000 towards a da Vinci surgical robot at Bradford Teaching Hospitals, enabling a wider range of surgical procedures for local people.
We also donated to numerous smaller organisations which provide vital support, training and life enhancing experiences to those affected by poor mental and physical health, accessibility issues, poverty, addiction, loneliness, or who are vulnerable and marginalised.
We are extremely proud of the impact our donations have in communities across the Bradford district and Yorkshire, and it’s an honour to be recognised for this.
