BBEST Certificates of Recognition
Here at BBEST we love to celebrate our local community. We have seen a lot of examples of organisations and individuals who have supported the families in the Batley and Birstall area through these difficult and unprecedented times.
We have decided to award BBEST ‘Certificates of Recognition’ to show our appreciation for all their kindness, support, and hard work.
Congratulations! Thank you for your commitment to the community.
