All the winners of the British Later Life Lending Awards 2025

Attendees of the event were treated to the comedic performance of Emmanual Sonubi and the musical feats of Fully Funktional.

The charity for the evening was the Stroke Association, with almost £2,000 raised so far.

Congratulations to all the finalists and worthy winners.
