A very proud moment for our charity partner, Best Mates
Just under three years ago, Carl, our founder, and Jeff started Best Mates after recognising that people in the community needed support but weren’t always finding it through the routes already available.
At the beginning, the thinking was simple: if they could help even a few people, it would be worth doing.
Fast forward to Friday, and Best Mates was named Charity of the Year at The Great British Awards.
For everyone at Trak, this one feels particularly special. Carl is not only one of our founders, but also one of the people who, alongside Jeff and an incredible team, has helped turn that original idea into the amazing community Best Mates has become today.
We see firsthand how much work goes on behind the scenes and how much everyone involved genuinely cares about the people they support. What started as a desire to help a few people has grown into a community making a difference to so many.
We couldn’t be prouder of Carl and everyone at Best Mates. A very well-deserved recognition of everything you’re building and the people you continue to help.
Congratulations, Best Mates!
