Louise, Steph, Elise, Alan and Sara pose with the award, which is a framed certificate. On a screen behind them the words Winner Taking Flight are visible on a yellow background. The lighting is very hot pink in tone and everyone is smiling.

We are absolutely thrilled to have been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at last night's Cultural Impact Awards at Porters, organised by @getthechance.bsky.socialย , supported by Tempo Time Credits. The award was presented to us by trustee Sara Beer, who had kept it a complete secret.
