This year’s Nantwich “Salt of the Earth” awards have been launched by current Mayor Cllr Arthur Moran.
The awards recognise and celebrate achievements of individuals, groups and businesses that selflessly make a real difference to the Nantwich community.
Now Cllr Moran is asking for residents to come forward and nominate local heroes.
He said: “It never ceases to amaze me how lucky we are in this town to have such a large number of hidden gems volunteering their time for the rest of the community.
“Some of these groups and individuals go undetected for years and this is the town’s opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge some of them.
“So, if you know someone or a group, who gives up their time and energy to help others or make Nantwich a better place, please help us recognise their work by nominating them for an award.”
The awards this year are sponsored by Nantwich firm Johnsons Printers.
They will be presented at a reception on Monday May 4 at Nantwich Civic Hall.
Johnsons director Rachel McMillan said: “We are delighted to be supporting this year’s awards.
“Our business has been at the heart of Nantwich since 1827 and it is a terrific opportunity for us to give something back to the community.”
