Councillor Jeremy Cottam, Chairman of West Berkshire Council, said:

"The Community Champion Awards are really important to us. It's a great chance to say 'thank you' to the people and groups who help and support others in West Berkshire.

These awards celebrate those helping their communities and honour those who do good things in our district. The Community Champion Awards recognise our unsung heroes in all their forms and the quality of nominations is always high. I would urge residents to take a few moments to nominate these wonderful people undertaking great work in our communities, no matter how big or small."

Nominations are now closed for 2023.

The winners were presented with their awards at a ceremony in February 2024. Their details will also be recorded in an exclusive book called the "Roll of Civic Awards" which will be available for future generations to review. The book will be available to view at the Market Street Council Offices.
