A Watford charity founder is one of six people to be recognised as a Community Champion at a reception in Downing Street.
Enoch Kanagaraj, founder and CEO of One Vision, received the accolade at an event organised by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s office on Thursday, March 23.
One Vision was launched in August 2018 to provide practical support to vulnerable individuals and families. In doing so, it brings together people from different cultural backgrounds to address the needs of the Watford community.
Services and initiatives have been run by One Vision to tackle food poverty, mental health issues, social marginalisation and youth needs.
Invited to the event by Dean Russell, MP for Watford, Enoch had the opportunity to meet with the Prime Minister to discuss the charity’s efforts.
Enoch said: “I am humbled and honoured to be nominated as a Community Champion by our local MP Dean Russell at Number 10 Downing Street.
“I am proud of representing Watford and I am just so pleased the One Vision charity has been able to help many people in Watford. I would not be here at without the support of the volunteers, family and friends.”
Mr Russell MP added: “I have worked very closely with One Vision since the start of the pandemic on number of their important initiatives, and I was delighted that they had the opportunity to show the Minister how much they achieved in recent years.
“One Vision has done some really great work in preventing food waste and also supporting people through the cost-of-living crisis.”
