At the annual Community Stars Awards, held on Thursday 11th September at Preston North End Football Ground, Community Gateway Association (CGA) took the opportunity to thank and award champions of Preston’s community. From individuals to groups, young persons to good neighbours and green / environment to learning and development – the awards celebrate the fantastic work done by residents and volunteers across Preston.

CGA was set up in 2005 to provide the communities of Preston with safe and warm housing that is managed and maintained effectively and efficiently by the tenants, for the tenants.

Cleanall Services have for 5 years been the cleaning services provider to CGA and in line with their commitment to social responsibility (including being the first Recognised Living Wage Service Provider in the NW) were the main sponsors of the Awards.

Alistair Clayton, Commercial Director at Cleanall, said at the awards, “Cleanall are proud to be the sponsors of this annual celebration which recognises the work done by residents, volunteers, young people and communities across Preston. Congratulations to everyone – not just the winners but everyone here tonight who contributes so much to the effective and successful running of CGA”.
