Once again we were proud to sponsor the 2024 Local Hero Awards.

The grand final of the Your Local Paper and Iliffe Media event was held at King’s Lynn Corn Exchange on Wednesday night (April 24th), with more than 600 people from across the community in attendance.

We were proud to sponsor Neighbour of The Year category again, with our CEO Anita Jones delighted to present the award to eventual winner Tony Foster.

Tony was honoured after setting up a helpful online network for use by his community in Holme, which is near Hunstanton.

The event, which was hosted by military veteran and Invictus Games medallist JJ Chalmers, saw a host of other inspiring winners crowned including Paula Hall from Purfleet Trust who received the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Anita Jones commented: "I am so fond of these awards; it really does highlight the incredible people in west Norfolk making a real difference in our community. My congratulations go to all the winners and nominees."
