Winners of the Knutsford Town Awards 2022
Residents of Knutsford are being called on to nominate their community heroes for the 10th annual Knutsford Town Awards.
The awards recognise the people who make town so special – with awards presented across five different categories.
Nominations must be made via the Knutsford Town Council website by Friday 17th February 2023.
Mayor of Knutsford, Cllr Mike Houghton commented: “I have said before what a wonderfully vibrant community Knutsford has, and these awards aim to shine a light on those who make it so.
“We need you to tell us who you believe deserves an award this year, so please take the time to submit your nomination.”
Nominations can be submitted for any of the following categories:
The Civic Award which recognises the work of individuals. Last year Eileen Podmore won this award for her long and dedicated service to the Knutsford Royal May Day Committee.
The Youth Award is dedicated to those aged 21 and under. Last year the award was won jointly by Brooke McAteer and Ben Ormerod for their public speaking at Cheshire East Council, calling for reduced speed limits.
The Business Award recognises businesses who give something back to their community. Last year this award was given to Co-Op Knutsford for their proactive engagement with local groups.
The Community Award shines a light on local charities, committees, and other groups. Last year it went to the Knutsford Friendship Cafe for their work supporting carers and people living with dementia.
The Extra Mile Award is for those who go above and beyond as part of their paid work for the benefit of the local community. Last year this award was won by Ximena Massam who was acknowledged for going the extra mile as chef at the Welcome Cafe.
