The awards recognise those who make a special contribution to the local communities of Nantwich and Crewe.
The Local Fundraiser of the Year award was presented to Ann Aspinall, from Nantwich, for her efforts in raising thousands of pounds for Cancer Research through the annual Turn Nantwich Pink event.
Local Volunteer of the Year was Olwyn Payton, who kick-started a healthy eating breakfast club at Pebble Brook Primary as well as supporting the Wingate Centre in Wrenbury, Richmond Village in Nantwich and the RSPCA.
