Liz Barrett OBE DL, Principal of Academy Transformation Trust Further Education (ATTFE) College, attended alongside staff and learners following an invitation from the Lord-Lieutenant to showcase and celebrate the College's work across Nottinghamshire.
Speaking after the event, Liz Barrett said: "It was a real privilege to attend such a wonderful celebration of Nottinghamshire's rich culture, heritage and community spirit.
“We were delighted to represent the work we do and it was particularly special to have our staff and learners with us.
"Opportunities like this highlight the importance of building connections, celebrating local identity and creating opportunities for people to thrive. We were incredibly proud of our students who supported the event and showcased the talent, professionalism and community values that sit at the heart of ATTFE College."
The reception highlighted the importance of culture and heritage in bringing communities together and recognised the dedication of organisations and individuals making a positive difference throughout Nottinghamshire.
The evening also provided an opportunity for attendees to learn more about the work of the Nottinghamshire Lieutenancy, forge new partnerships and share ideas that will continue to strengthen communities across both the city and county.
