Volunteering heroes on Skegness coast line up for awards

Volunteering heroes will be honoured at a presentation evening at the The Grosvenor House Hotel on Friday, March 31, run in partnership with Coastal Sound.

Russell Sparkes, hotel owner, said: “We have had a tremendous response with over 100 nominations from all walks of life. “The committee scrutinised each nomination and the reasons for such nomination, in order to eventually pick the final candidates in each category.

“It was wonderful to see that so many people in and around the coast are doing so much for other people within their communities and beyond.

“Congratulations to all the candidates and thanks to all those who nominated friends and colleagues. Please come along and support them on the big night.”
