I just like to start by firstly saying that thanking the organisers and the other charities that are here representing tonight and the social sector for the incredible thing they bring to society. I reflected on this a few times, and it's what the not for profit sector brings to society actually makes the society worth being. And I just congratulate that others have performed at night on the various things everyone brings to this sector.Gavin Merlin and Sally Irwin
