Following the success of our virtual awards in 2020 we’re following the same format again this year. There will be an opportunity to ask questions of our finalists as well as hearing about their work in their words!

We’re delighted that our presenter is Johnny Timpson, a friend of the VRA, who is well known as a champion for inclusion and an advocate of customer protection in financial services. Johnny will be sharing some of his thoughts about vocational rehabilitation and opening the all important golden envelopes.

We had amazing feedback on last year’s event with 95% of the attendees saying they would attend a future VRA Awards so this really is not to be missed!

• “Fascinating to hear about all the work people are doing.”
• “it was so informative, in particular the Q&A session.”
• “It was great to hear about the different works people are involved in, and how relevant they are especially in these times.”
• “Liked the fast paced event and the overview of all entries”
• “Being inspired by all the excellent presentations”
