Alnwick Mayor’s Civic Awards recognise people’s involvement, contribution and dedication to charity work, community participation or voluntary activities in Alnwick.
Awards can be made for a number of areas including charity work, citizenship, caring, sport or community participation.
As Mayor, Geoff Watson, explained: “This is my last official duty of the year and it is important that, through the town council, we give formal recognition to the people who give their time and effort for the benefit of others.”
After presenting awards to the 11 recipients, he concluded: “I offer my congratulations to all the award winners - a town is not just a geographical area, it is a community, and you are what makes our Alnwick community so valuable. Well done everyone.”
