At the prize giving, Karen Moss, STEPS CEO took time to screen a short video outlining the invaluable range of services that the organisation affords these youngsters. “We believe that every child has the right to the best treatment and support available, irrespective of his or her economic situation might be. Parents and caregivers also need more support – emotional, financial and factual – to enable them to provide for these children and this is what STEPS has set out to do.

“Treatment in the early years determines the quality of life of these children forever which is why it’s so important that they have the primary care that they need.”

Master of Ceremonies was local actress and TV presenter, Rosie Motene with comedian, Trevor Gumbi providing the audience with some good laughs.

The event was a great success and talk is there may be a second challenge coming up later in the year.
