Thank you, esteemed guests,

Enlightenment Enlightening Care and Carers Appreciation Night (CAN) 2025.

It is with great pleasure and deep gratitude that we gathered on the 5th of April to honor the dedicated, hardworking, and compassionate individuals within our communities—our carers. This event serves not only as a celebration but also as a tribute to those who embody love in action, service, and the often-unrecognized strength of these remarkable individuals. We shine a light on their invaluable contributions.

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all our speakers who have graciously accepted our invitation to share their insights, wisdom, and encouragement. Your participation enriches this occasion and inspires many.

To our esteemed hosts, Pastor S. Kwambana and Mrs. A. Kwambana, we extend our gratitude for your vision and unwavering commitment to recognizing carers on this distinguished platform.

We also thank our valued sponsors and partners for your belief in this vital cause. Your support has made this event possible, providing essential resources and amplifying the voices of carers throughout the United Kingdom.

We are privileged to welcome our distinguished guests of honour, Cllr Willie Colquhoun, mayor of Corby, councillors Lora Lawman, chairman of North Northamptonshire Council, and Graham Lawman.

Your support in honoring the true heroes among us is greatly appreciated.

We extend our thanks to every guest, volunteer, and team member who has worked diligently behind the scenes to turn this vision into reality. This event reflects your unwavering dedication.

Finally, to our carers, this event is dedicated to you. Your unwavering love, sacrifice, and devoted service deserve recognition and celebration.

It has been an evening filled with opportunities for networking, appreciation, entertainment, connection, and inspiration.

Thank you, one and all.

Mr. Wilfred U. Adams

On behalf of the CAN Team.
