Guardian journalist Steven Morris has been presented with the Champion of the Year award at the first annual Community Sponsorship Awards.
The awards are organised by Sponsor Refugees and run by charity Citizen UK, which helps local communities set up projects to welcome refugee families to the UK. Held at the Royal Society in central London, the awards honour community sponsorship groups and people across the country who offer help and support to refugees.
Steven Morris won for his article about the only Syrian family in the Welsh village of Narberth. The story formed part of The Guardian’s New Arrivals series; a long term project following refugees as they settle across Europe. The series looked at newly arrived communities in western Europe to explore how they are adapting to their new lives.
