The Red Rose Awards - and all those who attended - have been given a special award by the Cash for Kids charity after raising almost £40,000 since 2016.
Guests of the business awards ceremony, which takes place on one night in March each year at Blackpool’s Winter Gardens, donate around £10,000 per event for the not-for-profit organisation.
Money is raised through generous donations by attendees at the fun-filled black tie event, and is boosted by headline sponsor Barclays which matches every penny collected.
