The Pathways to the Future Trust (PTTFT) hosted a warm and memorable celebration on Thursday, 13 November 2025, acknowledging 23 outstanding awardees at Blum’s newly refurbished showroom. The modern setting provided an ideal space for recipients and their families, friends, and employers to gather and recognise the dedication and promise shown across a wide range of industries and stages of life.
Chairperson Bhavin Sanghavi, himself a proud past recipient, opened the evening with an inspiring address. He spoke of the lasting impact PTTFT has had on the careers of past recipients and highlighted why its mission remains so important today. His remarks underscored the importance of supporting individuals of any age who are dedicated to enhancing their skills, advancing their careers, and making a positive contribution to their workplaces and communities.
Kim Watts from the RBA followed by formally acknowledging the Trust’s key partners. The EMA and Smith & Partners were thanked for their continued support and collaboration, which play a vital role in enabling PTTFT to provide meaningful assistance and recognition to its awardees each year.
The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the glass trophy awards. Each recipient was invited forward to be congratulated and photographed as they received their award, a simple but significant moment that captured pride, accomplishment, and encouragement from those around them. Employers and family members joined the recipients in celebrating these achievements, underscoring the collective effort that often sits behind personal success.
As the event came to a close, conversations continued among the attendees as they reflected on their accomplishments, the opportunities ahead, and the ongoing work of the Pathways to the Future Trust. The 2025 celebration was a testament not only to individual achievement, but to the power of community support and the lifelong value of continuing education and professional growth.
