Prescot Community Recognition Awards 2025 – Nominations now open
Prescot has a rich tradition as a Town with a strong community, sometimes the efforts of particular individuals and groups stand out as being above and beyond that of a usual citizen. These groups and individuals are not always aware of the positive impact they can have, on both individuals and the wider community, and can go largely unsung for their actions.
In order to recognise these individuals and the positive contribution they make to the lives of others, the Town Council operate the Prescot Community Recognition Awards every year.
Nominations are now open for 2025. Please complete the nomination form below and return by the closing date Wednesday 30th April 2025.
