Prescot Town Council’s Annual Community Recognition Awards Evening
Prescot Town Council hosted it’s Annual Community Recognition Awards Evening on Saturday. Local community groups were invited along to enjoy an evening to recognise the efforts of Prescot’s active community groups. Prescot Town Councillors organised the buffet for the evening and facilitated some fun games of Heads and Tails.
The award for Community Group of the Year went to the Friends of Eaton Street Park and the award for Citizens of the Year went to Karl and Clare Duvall for their work on the Red Box Project within Prescot/Knowsley.
The Mayor of Prescot raised over £200 for the Mayors Charity by holding a raffle on the evening.
Thank you to all those who came along to support the evening and congratulations to the award winners.
