One Voice Wales National Awards Conference – 30 April 2025
One Voice Wales held its annual National Awards Conference on Wednesday 30 April 2025 at Hafod a Hendre, Royal Welsh Showground, Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, LD2 3SY. These awards are an opportunity for each Council to showcase the services it provides for its community, and an opportunity for Councillors, Clerks and Council staff to receive the recognition they deserve.
We are extremely grateful for the support and enthusiasm of this year’s Main Sponsors: Unity Trust Bank.
