Katie Scoops Price of Andover Award!

Katie Piper has won a Pride of Andover Award for Courage.



Last night over 200 people packed into the Lights Theatre for the annual Pride of Andover Awards - an evening of emotion and celebration as 14 prizes were handed out to people from all walks of life in Andover in recognition of their contribution to the community.

Also recognised was arguably the highest profile winner of a Pride of Andover Award ever... Katie Piper hit the headlines last year after waiving her right to anonymity in order to tell her story after she rebuilt her life following an horrific acid attack.

She set up her own charity this year to support burns victims and said it was wonderful to be recognised by her home town, "This award is particularly special because it is where I grew up and went to school. Ultimately, what Andover means to me is when everybody actually turned their backs on me and didn't want to be seen with me because I was disfigured it was Andover that I came home to and it was there that I was able to feel safe when I didn't really think I'd feel safe again."

Congratulations Katie!
