Victoria Robson, CEO, The Door:
“I am absolutely delighted that The Door has been chosen as the recipient of the Edna Powell Cup for 2025. This award is a truly meaningful recognition, not just for us as a local charity, but for the young people and parents we work with every day.
Recognition, celebrating young people and parent’s achievements and shining a light on them making life changing improvements is vital. It tells them that they are seen, valued, and belong to a caring community that recognises their potential. This is something we passionately believe in at The Door, and it’s wonderful to see those values echoed so powerfully through this award.
Edna Powell was a formidable force for good in Stroud – her dedication to bringing communities together has left a lasting legacy. That the award in her name honours extraordinary commitment to community makes it all the more special.
We’re so proud The Door has been recognised in this way and I want to thank the Stroud Show team for this incredible honour.”
