Paragon was nominated by one of its participants for Community Project of the Year in RBS: Finding Scotland’s Real Heroes. We were shortlisted as one of the top three in our category.
A film crew came to Play On to film our workshop in action with Taggart’s Alex Norton as our special guest presenter.
The finalists attended a glitzy awards ceremony in Edinburgh that was shown on TV on 15th December. WE WON!!
A massive Thank You to everyone who voted for us and has supported us over the years. This award means so much to us and all of our participants; who are still getting used to the idea that they’re famous! Paragon is dedicated to opening up opportunities in music and dance to everyone and we really hope this helps us to spread the word about inclusive practice and reach out to more communities across Scotland. As we all like to say, it’s fandabbydozy!
Here’s a photo of all the finalists!
