TONIGHT, in a glitzy award ceremony at York Racecourse, York’s unsung heroes get the moment in the spotlight they so richly deserve.

Among those nominated for this year’s Community Pride Awards are courageous children and young people, dedicated volunteers, sporting heroes, outstanding teachers and health workers, and charity fundraisers who go the extra mile.

They are the people that make York so special.

Every one of tonight’s nominees is a winner.

So well done and thanks to them all.
