 'Thank you for a wonderful evening. It was good to be able to attend and present and award at what has turned into Sheffield's very own wonderful awards evening. As always it was superbly organised, and I very much enjoyed the entertainment laid on be the talented musicians and dancers representing not only Hope City Church but drawn from youth groups across the City. '

Councillor Jan Wilson, Leader of the Labour Party, Sheffield City Council

'WOW! I just wanted to say "thank you" for an amazing evening on Sunday. We had a fabulous time which will remain in our memories for a long time! The whole evening was great - the reception, the ceremony, the entertainment - such a lot of effort, hard work and passion which clearly shone through. Can't wait for next year's event. We'll be there, with I suspect the hundreds we've told so much about it!'
Andy Hanselman, Business Consultant

'People need to be recognised for what they’ve achieved. It’s amazing that with all the adversities some of these people face, they still manage to continue. Some of these people have been going for 20-30 years, leaving a legacy. I think the Night of Honour is a great way for people to see what’s going on out there in the community.'
Uriah Rennie, Top Football Referee

'I was extremely fortunate to be invited I believe to the first event in 2003. From that impressive beginning the celebration has gone from strength to strength. The glam and the razzmatazz can certainly compete with the Oscars and the BAFTA'S of this world. What I really think is special about these awards is that lovely warm and wonderful feeling you get and the pride that shows on the faces of the people who are nominated.'
Cllr Diane Leek, Sheffield City Council

'What a fantastic evening' - Full of enthusiasm and passion. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed The Night of Honour. The best thing about Sheffield is the people - 'The carers & sharers' Thank you.
Mark Aston, Chief Executive of Sheffield Eagles RLFC
