Miss World and Miss World Africa present awards
The 20th Annual Property Awards Lunch (the PROPs) in aid of Variety, The Children's Charity was held at London's Hilton Park Lane yesterday, with Miss World Alexandria Mills and Miss World Africa Emma Wareus on stage to present the awards to the winners. Recipients and guests included Deputy Mayor of London Richard Barnes and PROPs Ambassador Matt King who, paralysed from the neck down from an injury playing in his first professional rugby match, has since received help and support from the PROPs and Variety.
The event, hosted by comedian and actor Omid Djalili, saw awards presented to individuals and companies in the property industry who have excelled over the past year, while also raising funds for Variety, with over £350,000 raised at this year's event for Variety's Easy Riders Electric Wheelchair Programme. Since their inception in 1992, the PROPS Awards have generated over £6.5 million for the charity, providing over 1700 electric wheelchairs for disabled children and young people throughout the UK.
