JUDGES were faced with a difficult task combing through the stack of entries submitted by readers.
The aim of the South Cumbria Community Heroes Awards is to celebrate those who go the extra mile in their towns and villages, and to recognise the achievements and dedication of volunteers.
Everyone who was nominated should be proud that they were thought of but, as with any awards, there has to be a winner.
Listed below are all the people and groups who have been shortlisted and who will be invited to attend the ceremony on October 11 at the Abbey House Hotel in Barrow.
The winner of the Person of the Year, which is sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline, and the ‘Special Award’, supported by Cumbria’s Police and Crime Commissioner, will be announced on the evening.
