Sovereign Capital sponsors The Centre for Social Justice Awards 2008

Sovereign Capital, the UK private equity Buy & Build specialist, is delighted to have sponsored The Centre for Social Justice ("CSJ") Awards 2008.  The awards, held in London last night, recognised and celebrated the tremendous work done by a broad range of grassroots organisations to tackle poverty throughout the UK.

Now in its fourth year, the 2008 CSJ Awards attracted entries from over 200 voluntary groups and charities.  The awards ceremony brought their outstanding dedication to fighting poverty and social injustice to the attention of the national media and policy makers across the political spectrum, in addition to providing a prize fund totaling over £70,000.

Sovereign was proud to sponsor the award that was presented to Aquila Way who were recognised for their tireless efforts in supporting 200 homeless young people and their children in the North East each year.  Aquila Way assists not only with housing men and women unable to navigate the support system, but also helping them to develop their skills and confidence and ultimately enabling their independence.  Aquila Way demonstrates the best in local people successfully working to address local problems and deliver support that hasn't been available before.

The awards showcased the passion and dedication of so many groups of inspirational people working to help the UK's disadvantaged and to bring them hope.
