BATS Next Gen were awarded a finalist certificate for their nomination in the Basingstoke Place To Be Proud awards (Arts and Entertainment section) which took place virtually earlier this year. They were also nominated for Volunteer of the Year section. This is a repeat of our success in 2019 which was held at Haymarket Theatre, when events could be held in theatres.
