Three remarkable individuals were honored at the 2024 Pride of Britain Awards for their extraordinary acts of courage and kindness. These winners, chosen from a pool of public nominations, were recognized at a prestigious ceremony in London hosted by Ashley Banjo and Carol Vorderman.
In a heartwarming twist, P&O Cruises, the new headline sponsor of the awards, surprised each of the 12 winners with a cruise holiday. This generous gesture provided them with an opportunity to embark on a memorable journey with their loved ones.
Among the recipients were Aiyla Mota, a young Child of Courage, Manny Singh Kang, the ITV Fundraiser of the Year, and Emily Greenwood, recognized for her outstanding bravery. Each of them embarked on a 14-night Caribbean adventure aboard Britannia, exploring picturesque islands and enjoying top-notch entertainment.
Aiyla Mota, aged five, captured hearts with her resilience after surviving a life-threatening illness that led to the amputation of both her legs and fingers. Her unwavering positivity and spirit earned her the Child of Courage award, making her one of the youngest winners in the awards’ history.
Manny Singh Kang, a devoted fundraiser for Dementia UK, raised over £260,000 through his innovative initiatives, including selling homemade samosas outside a football club. His dedication to serving the community led to him being named ITV Fundraiser of the Year and rewarded with a Caribbean cruise by P&O Cruises.
Emily Greenwood’s heroic act of saving a boy and his mother from drowning in a riptide earned her the Outstanding Bravery award. Her selfless actions on the Cornish beach led to a well-deserved cruise holiday where she and her family enjoyed the beauty of the Caribbean.
Each of these inspiring individuals expressed gratitude for the opportunity to sail with P&O Cruises, experiencing unparalleled hospitality, luxury dining, and breathtaking destinations like Aruba and St Kitts.
