*This award celebrates the life, sense of fun, and true community spirit of Mary Sigley who worked with PAVS for a short time, but made a huge impact on us all because of her enthusiasm and belief in what people could achieve. Mary sadly died in 2006 - we continue to miss her and have created this award in her memory.
**In March 2015, PAVS lost a valued colleague, with the sudden and very unexpected death of Mike Beckett. The whole staff team wanted to do something to remember Mike and celebrate his life. Mike’s enthusiasm for and belief in young people was clear for all to see – which is why we named this award in his memory.
