“I am delighted that the Community Champion Awards are now in its eighth year. Each year I am overwhelmed by the outstanding people we have in our communities that go above and beyond to do amazing and selfless things.
“Without the support of our sponsors the Community Champion Awards wouldn’t be the success it is today so I would like to say a big thank you to each and every one of them.
“If you know an individual or group that deserves a Community Champion Award, please make sure you nominate them. Whether it is a personal achievement, inspiration to others, the work they have done in their community or volunteering their services for a good cause, we want to hear from you.”
