David Amess MP has received an ‘Outstanding Achievement Award’ at the Charity Champion Parliamentary reception hosted by Dods. The prestigious event, which took place in the Speaker’s House, aims to recognise the work done by parliamentarians in supporting charities.

Described as the ‘headline award’, the Outstanding Achievement Award is received by an individual who has ‘shown a lifetime commitment to charitable work’, with the winner being chosen by a select panel of experienced judges.

Mr Amess said: “I am truly honoured and humbled to receive this Outstanding Achievement Award. This whole evening and has been superb and I would like to congratulate all of tonight’s other winners on their achievements’.
