Updated: 3 days ago

The winners of the Richard Flint awards were announced by The British Polio Fellowship on Saturday 14 September.


The British Polio Fellowship revealed the winners of the Richard Flint awards during its Annual General Meeting on 14 September, at the Village Hotel Walsall in the West Midlands.


"The Richard Flint awards are a highlight of the British Polio Fellowship calendar and came about because of a very generous donation” explained Kripen Dhrona, Chief Executive of The British Polio Fellowship.


"Richard Flint's hope was that the awards would encourage members who have had polio to nurture and develop their artistic talents".
