A team of student volunteers who have been supporting the Foundation of Light’s holiday programmes have been recognised as the latest Wear 25 award winners.
We decided that we wanted to put something back into our community and were impressed by both the professionalism of Foundation of Light as well as the huge impact they have on our region.
Melika Cheurfi, Adkins and Cheurfi Managing DirectorDean Adkins, Managing Director, added: “Like Adkins and Cheurfi, Foundation of Light are leaders in their field who still keep people at the heart of everything they do.

It’s thanks to community-minded business leaders like Melika and Dean that we’re able to help so many people.”
