THE Newbury Town Civic Awards have been launched for 2021, with five categories for nominees to enter.
The awards celebrate achievements, honour volunteers and recognise those who make a difference in the community.
Newbury mayor Elizabeth O’Keeffe expressed her delight at launching all five awards: the Newbury Town Civic Award, the Young Persons Civic Award, the Newbury Town Business Civic Award, the Newbury Town Environmental Contribution Civic Award and now the special one-off Community Champions Awards for 2021.
This year, the town council has launched the new category of Community Champions Awards to honour those who have given back to the community in direct response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
