Big-hearted volunteers and fundraisers celebrated after being named winners in the Crewe and Nantwich Community Awards 2014.

The awards, organised by Nantwich-based The Cat Community Radio Station, were held at Richmond Village.

They are designed to give recognition to local people who dedicate their time helping others.

Winners of the awards include Elizabeth Chesters, for Long Service to the Community; Ray of Hope UK for Local Volunteer of the Year; Crewe Alexandra goalkeeper Steve Phillips for Local Fundraiser of the Year; Bethany Daley for Young Person of the Year; and Sean Savage for Achievement of the Year.

More than 60 people attended the black tie event which included a three-course meal and entertainment from local duo Baxter.

Nominations were made by local people, and winners decided by a panel consisting of MP Edward Timpson, Debbie Owens of Crewe Lions, John Weir from Nantwich LAP and Alison Harding from Richmond Village.

Organiser of the event Claire Faulkner said: “I am so proud of everybody who was nominated.

“The high level of entries this year goes to show that as a community, we value everybody who tries to make a difference or volunteers their time to help others.

“The evening is about celebrating the achievements of everybody in our community and thanking them for all that they do.”
