On Tuesday 18^th June, the Hilton Birmingham Metropole hosted the Fed Awards, an exciting event attended by over 450 guests to celebrate the best in independent retailing.

The room was filled with positive energy as Scottish host and comedian Rory Bremner encouraged donations throughout the night. A special moment was dedicated to Pass It On featuring a video presentation. In this video, Jon Bunting explains the charity mission and how everyone in the room collectively could help support. The response was overwhelming, with many guests donating generously. In a wonderful gesture, a retailer matched the total amount raised, bringing the final sum to £7,738.92.

Pass It On would like to thank The Fed for this fantastic opportunity. The event was a great success, reflecting how people can come together to make a big difference.

Founder of Pass It On, Jonathan Bunting commented, “A huge thank you to Monty and all of our friends at the Fed for inviting us to the awards ceremony. We would like to extend our thanks to o all of the guests who gave so generously and to the amazing Jules Kaur who matched the amount raised on the night to bring us to that incredible total.”
