Sponsorship
We are proud to present our 2024 Civic Award sponsors. These local organisations demonstrate their clear commitment to shaping and supporting our communities.
Without them, the Civic Awards would not be possible, and we thank our sponsors for supporting the programme and all the unsung heroes in the borough.
