Wesley Hall Community Centre Named City Charity of the Year at the VAL Awards 2025

Wesley Hall Community Centre is deeply honoured to have been named City Charity of the Year at the VAL Awards 2025, proudly sponsored by Springfields Advisory LLP.

This recognition from Voluntary Action LeicesterShire (VAL) is a milestone that celebrates not only our organisation but the people and partnerships that make Wesley Hall what it is: a welcoming space where the community comes together to learn, grow and support one another.

It reflects the hard work and heart of our staff team, volunteers, trustees, partners and supporters, whose dedication and compassion continue to drive everything we do.

Being recognised among so many incredible charities across Leicester is both humbling and inspiring. This award strengthens our commitment to continue delivering vital services, creating opportunities and empowering local people to thrive.
