03:07Thank you so much.

03:17Hiya James and Lauren, now we've got a few more winners that we're going to be talking to tonight.

03:30The reason for this is four years ago I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and two and a half years ago I was told I only had six months left.

03:40But obviously I went against that, so yeah.

03:46You're a very impressive young lady, is there anything else that you would like to add?

03:52I just want to say thank you to everyone who supported me.

03:56Couldn't have done it without them to be honest.

03:58Faith in Families has been running projects across Swansea for the last 25 years

04:03and to actually receive an outstanding charity award tonight is incredible for us.

04:10It just helps us to say to the children and families that we are working with that they mean something,

04:16they're valuable, we love them, we adore them and we're going to fight and push back on poverty.

04:26Can you take the mic?

04:28Hello.

04:31Nice to meet you.

04:37How does it feel to win?

04:39I feel very excited.

04:42One of the things you've always talked about is hope, which is the spirit of these awards.

04:47Yeah, this is something that's before everything, thank everybody for being here

04:54and thanking the charity too for honouring the girls.

04:58It's a huge achievement for me and for them beyond everything.

05:07Goodbye everyone, lovely to see you.

05:27A warm Welsh welcome to Beverly Knox!

05:32So come on!

05:34Let me see you then, let's go!

05:37Greatest state of Ireland

05:40We've got a speaker, you don't have to sit down, let's go!

05:47Greatest state of Ireland

05:51So don't say the air is cool today

05:55And it's better that I don't send the rain

06:00And it's best if heaven holds back the clouds

06:05Because inside of me there's fire on the train

06:09So every day I find that golden clover

06:14And every day, lady, love is at my door

06:18And gold to me, I find is in remission

06:23To love I have no more

06:27But you know I'm feeling good, never better

06:32That's the greatest state of my life

06:36Yes it is, I'm feeling good, never better

06:42That's the greatest state of my life

06:47And so don't say you're heated from down today

06:52And it's better you keep your prints on ice

06:57And it's best if you've got that juice down in your soul

07:01Yes it is, I'm feeling good, never better

07:04So repeat after me, repeat after me

07:08I'm feeling good, never better

08:59Thank you!

09:03Hang on, what were you saying?

09:05Blanche, do you want to do it?

09:07Quick thank yous.

09:09We just wanted to say, like,

09:11Beverly has done this from her heart

09:13with kindness tonight, and

09:15it's just amazing.

09:17And, you know, we couldn't do this

09:19without people like Beth and Darren

09:21who got in here tonight, and DJ Monroe

09:23who's also here with Beverly and Beverly's team.

09:25And actually, the whole community

09:27in Swansea, like, Mark and I

09:29just cannot do this without sponsors,

09:31without support, without volunteers,

09:33without putting a lot of effort into things.

09:35But it's all worth it

09:37when we look here tonight

09:39and we see all those kids, young people,

09:41and all that they've achieved

09:43be recognised tonight.

09:45And that's the most important thing,

09:47because without that, we've worked in media

09:49all our lives, and we are sick to death

09:51of content that just isn't about community anymore.

09:53And it's really important

09:55that we recognise that.

09:57And it's so important to us

09:59that we recognise that.

10:01And I know Beth and Hayes

10:03want to say a thank you, but I'm always going to say it.

10:05I'm going to keep saying it.

10:07Our sponsors, Trade Centre Wales,

10:09has been with us from the beginning,

10:11and it was actually Rhiannon and I

10:13who chatted about this idea.

10:15So I want to say thank you

10:17to all of you, every single person

10:19in the room. You're just all amazing.

10:21And I know Mark wants to say thank you too.

10:23Well, he does think that. I'm making it.

10:27I hope you had a fantastic night.

10:29It's been amazing. Thank you, Catherine.

10:31Thank you. You're an amazing voice.

10:33Thank you very much.

10:35What an incredible night it's been.

10:37We've had the honour of hearing

10:39some truly remarkable stories,

10:41reminding us of the strength, kindness,

10:43and determination of the young people of Wales.

10:45Absolutely. Every one of our winners

10:47tonight has shown us that no matter the challenge,

10:49with courage and compassion,

10:51anything is possible. They are the true heroes,

10:53and we couldn't be more proud to celebrate them.

10:55A huge thank you to everyone

10:57who made tonight possible,

10:59from the headline sponsor, Trade Centre Wales,

11:01to all the event partners and category sponsors.

11:03Your support means the world,

11:05especially to these young stars and their families.

11:07And let's not forget

11:09the incredible performances from

11:11Beverley Knight, Amy Wodge, Steve Balsamo,

11:13and Black Mountain Voices.

11:15They made tonight even more magical.

11:17So as we close this year's

11:19World of Wales Awards, we leave with full hearts,

11:21feeling uplifted and inspired

11:23by the future these young people represent.
