Boston Heroes deadline approaches as Council outlines plans for Awards Ceremony in April

Posted on 14 March 2024

Boston Borough Council have extended the deadline for residents to nominate their local heroes as part of the 2023/2024 campaign till Sunday 17 March, as well as outlining plans for an awards ceremony to be held on Monday 15 April, where we will announce our winners.

The awards are designed to shine a light on the people, groups and organisations who go above and beyond to help others and to honour persons who are making significant contributions to their community through their time, actions, talents and dedication (outside any volunteer work done for their employer) across the Boston Borough area.

This year's award ceremony will be held at the Grade 1 listed medieval church, The Beonna in the picturesque village of Benington. The event will see award-winners, runners up, Councillors and other esteemed members of the community come together to celebrate the collective achievements of those who go above and beyond to make Boston a wonderful place to live, work and play.

The Council is encouraging residents to not delay and submit nominations for the following categories, before the end of the week:

  • Outstanding Achievement
  • Group Champion
  • Individual Champion
  • Youth Champion (individual, under 18s).

The Judges for the awards have been announced as:

The Sponsors for the awards have been announced as:

Councillor Emma Cresswell, Portfolio Holder for Communities and People said: "Once again we're calling for residents across the Borough to get involved in our 2023/2024 Boston Heroes Campaign, we know there are so many people out there going above and beyond to make Boston a better a place and this is an opportunity for all of us to say thank you!

"From the smallest acts of kindness, to life-changing support, individuals, groups or organisations - all can be nominated before this coming Sunday's deadline, please don't delay, I can't wait to see what the community comes up with."

Nominating your Boston Heroes couldn't be simpler - the Council have set up a dedicated page on our website, where those in the community can easily nominate their hero and explain why they deserve to win. Please nominate your heroes now at www.boston.gov.uk/bostonheroes

The new final deadline for nominations is midnight on Sunday 17 March 2024.
