“Winning the Best Cultural Society for the Riley Awards means a lot to not only the Malaysian society, but also the Malaysian community here in Leeds because it strengthened the visibility of our culture. Not only that, it is the result of the dedication made by everyone that was involved in this society, from the planning committee members all the way to its loyal members.” – Christopher, Malaysian Society

“Winning the community impact award for our work at Leeds Festival is truly humbling. It validates our dedication to welfare initiatives and energises to continue making a positive impact within our community.” – Megan, Suicide Support and Awareness For Everyone (SSAFE)

“The Riley’s are a great experience whether you win something or not – you get to dress up, be with your friends, and have a laugh. Winning is definitely a bonus though, especially as a smaller society! It leaves you on a high knowing that people appreciate the work you put in.” – Amber, Plant Society, and St. John Ambulance
