Pride in Northamptonshire Awards 2014

Pride in Northamptonshire, sponsored by Wicksteed Park and in association with Costa, is a special awards event that recognises the achievements of special people within our area; those who have gone out of their way to help others, those who have overcome hardship and those who support a positive attitude within our community.

People from across the county will be recognised for their courage, selfless work and community spirit at the awards. The cermony will be held at Wicksteed Park on Friday, September 26th.

Do you know someone who has gone the extra mile to help others overcome hardship or someone who has offered their help and support for the community? Why not nominate them for an award to be presented on the night at our gala evening dinner? The deadline for entries and nominations is September 7th.
