Coast and County Radio is proud to team up with Norton-on-Derwent Town Council to celebrate the people and organisations that make our community such a special place to live.

The annual Community Awards are your chance to shine a spotlight on Norton’s very own ‘Local Heroes’ – the volunteers, charities, community groups, membership organisations and individuals who go above and beyond to make a real difference to the lives of others.

Do you know someone whose dedication deserves recognition? Perhaps it’s a volunteer who gives their time selflessly, a local organisation making a positive impact, or an individual who always goes the extra mile for their community.

Norton Town Council wants to hear your nominations and help recognise those who truly deserve a thank you, with awards across the following categories:

• Norton based Volunteer of the Year – an individual who goes ‘over and above’ in their role as a volunteer and in the contribution they make to the organisation they support in our community.
• Norton based Charity of the Year – a charity based in Norton that makes a significant and important difference to individuals/groups in our community.
• Norton based Unsung Hero of the Year – an individual who contributes to the life of others in Norton in a quiet way, such as someone who does shopping for others who are ill or works ‘behind the scenes’ to contribute/support others.
