Northampton Town Football Club Community Trust named as a 'Rose of Northamptonshire'

The Rose of Northamptonshire award identifies and expresses thanks to groups or individuals who have worked tirelessly to keep Northamptonshire communities safe and businesses moving during the Covid-19 crisis.

A Northampton Town Football Club Community Trust spokesman said: "The club's work during this pandemic has been wide and far ranging.

"Whether it be keeping communities in touch, tackling loneliness, paying supporters a socially distanced visit with the play off trophy, supporting local schools, setting engaging challenges or just reaching out, the club are proud of the role we continue to play."

Winners of the award were nominated by the public, which allowed residents of Northamptonshire to show their appreciation and reflect on the hard work done by others.

While the pandemic is still ongoing, Northamptonshire County Council and its leader, as well as the formal institutions of the High Sheriff's Office and Lord Lieutenancy say they feel it is important to recognise the many across the county who have committed themselves to response and relief efforts since the beginning of the outbreak.
