Paul said: \u201cPersonally to me, winning this award would mean two really key things, its validation. Of myself and of BCT Aspire; people over the years think I’m absolutely crazy to have done what I\u2019ve done and to attempt to do what I\u2019ve attempted. The other side to it is that BCT aspire isn\u2019t just a job, it\u2019s a life and a passion.<\/p>\n

For BCT itself its increased exposure of BCT, we haven\u2019t been going that long and our marketing has been by word of mouth, people are slowly but surely finding out about our work sometimes its frustrating that I know that we do a lot of good work that people never find out about, but that\u2019s not the key because as long as we help the people that we try to help that\u2019s what really matters. It will give us that chance to push forward and give us the chance to deliver a lot more of the work that we want to.\u201d<\/p>\n

We would be extremely grateful if you would take a minute to support Paul and also forward this release through your own organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
