Five winners were picked from a shortlist for the NNUH inspirational fundraising awards, and handed their trophies this evening (Monday) by fundraising manager Louise Cook.

Both Perry Cooke and Georgia Stallard bagged the prize for inspirational young fundraiser of the year.

Perry, 14, was most recently known for featuring on The Voice Kids. But the teenager has been fundraising for much longer in memory of his granddad, Kenny, who died in 2012.

Every year since, on the anniversary of his death, Perry and his family have raised money for the NNUH with a charity party at their yard in Swanton Road, Norwich. And he's now raised more than £20,000.
