The rising stars of Yorkshire’s residential property world will be honoured at a major business event in aid of a charity that supports under-privileged children.

The Yorkshire Residential Real Estate Awards, organised by Yorkshire Children’s Charity, will be held on Wednesday 8 October at New Dock Hall in Leeds, to celebrate the finest developments, agents and projects.

The event raises funds to support children in the region who are at a disadvantaged due to ill health, disability or financial circumstances. It will help to fund the charity’s ‘Warm, Dry and Ready to Learn’ winter support campaign, which this year will supply more than 2,300 children who are living in poverty with essential winter items, such as winter coats, shoes, bedding and pyjamas.

The Yorkshire Post is one of the charity’s supporters and Greg Wright, the paper’s deputy business editor, will attend the ceremony and present an award.
