Councillor Billy Drummond, Chairman of West Berkshire Council, said:

"Every year we look forward to the Community Champion Awards. These awards recognise the valuable contribution made by volunteers across West Berkshire. 

Community Champions, do what they do to help their communities, often going unrecognised, but we want to acknowledge and celebrate their hard work. 

If you know of anyone undertaking great work in our community, no matter how big or small, I urge you to nominate them for an award."
