Metro Rod sponsored Hero awards raise big money

Metro Rod Cambridge sponsored awards will make a difference to local charity Steel Bones.

Following a wonderful night of celebration at the Metro Rod Cambridge sponsored Ely Hero Awards 2018, charity partner Steel Bones has been presented with a cheque for £550. The generous amount was raised during last month’s celebration, which saw outstanding figures in the community recognised for their hard-work, community spirit and generosity.

In a presentation at Poet’s House, child of achievement winner Kiera Haynes and Ely Hero 2018 Ruth Marley handed over the cheque to Emma Joy-Staines, founder of the charity which aims to help amputees adjust to life and thrive after limb loss. She explained just how much the event, which was made possible by the support of Metro Rod’s Cambridge branch, means to the small charity.

“This is huge for us and the money will mean that we can help families across the UK. The Ely Hero Awards has been deeper than the just the money, it has been about the awareness too. These awards are special and there is not enough of this in the world.”

Metro Rod Cambridge’s franchisee, Kevin Russell, expressed his delight that the event was able to have such an impact. He said:

“It is a great honour to have been able to once again support a local charity, this being Steel Bones. It provides such incredible support to civilian amputees which is much needed and to know that our donation can assist to further its work makes everyone involved with Ely Hero Awards very proud.”
