Throughout August and September, representatives from Northamptonshire Community Foundation and the North and West Northamptonshire Unitary Authorities have presented 57 community heroes across the county with Rose of Northamptonshire Awards.

First launched in 2021 by the High Sheriff’s Office, the Lord Lieutenancy, and what was at the time Northamptonshire County Council, the Rose of Northamptonshire Awards recognise and celebrate groups and individuals who work tirelessly to better their local communities.

Rachel McGrath, CEO of Northamptonshire Community Foundation, said: “re-launching the Rose of Northamptonshire Awards has been a wonderful opportunity to shine a light on unsung community heroes across the county, congratulations to all our worthy award winners.

“I’m very excited to say that this is not a one-off, the public will be able to nominate community champions again in Spring 2024.”

The awards initiative was re-launched in 2023 by a partnership between Northamptonshire Community Foundation and the North and West Northamptonshire Unitary Authorities, to shine a light on those whose dedication to their community often goes unnoticed or unacknowledged.
