The Contribution to Community Safety category will recognise those who respond positively to issues around rural safety, work with the vulnerable and find ways to reduce anti-social behaviour.

Now, across ten categories, the awards, in which the Sleaford Standard is a media partner, celebrate the hundreds of people who volunteer their time to help others in North Kesteven. So, if there is someone in your local area who goes above and beyond to support the environment, arts, sport or community nominate them today!

The awards recognise those unsung heroes who work quietly, tirelessly and voluntarily in the district; to be presented in October at an event at the International Bomber Command Centre, compered by BBC Radio Lincolnshire’s Rod Whiting.

Council Leader, Coun Richard Wright said: “These awards are an opportunity to thank all those unsung heroes from across North Kesteven that undertake a significant amount of good work right across the district, day in, day out all year round, helping our communities to flourish.”

The awards would not be possible without the support of the community-focused businesses who are on board again this year to ensure the huge amount of community-centred endeavours which goes on within the district are celebrated.
