Russell‑Cooke proudly sponsored the Individual Volunteer of the Year category at the Rodney Powell Awards 2025.

Organised by the Thomas Pocklington Trust (TPT) in partnership with Sight Loss Councils (SLC), these awards celebrate exceptional volunteer efforts supporting blind and partially sighted individuals. 

The ceremony took place on 10 May 2025. The Individual Volunteer of the Year award was presented to Paul, a member of the Birmingham and Black Country Sight Loss Council, in recognition of his efforts to improve accessibility and inclusion. His work includes collaborating with the Birmingham Hippodrome and the West Midlands Combined Authority to help make the region a leading example of support for disabled people.

Chris Rowse, charity partner and chair of the firm's Responsible Business Committee, said:

We’re delighted to support the Rodney Powell Awards and to help recognise the outstanding contributions of volunteers like Paul. Championing inclusion aligns closely with our values as a responsible business and reflects the work we do across the firm, including our firmwide volunteering scheme, which encourages colleagues to give back to their communities.
