The Mayor started the recognition scheme at the beginning of the pandemic as a way to acknowledge those who had gone above and beyond to help the most vulnerable in their communities.
The distribution of certificates is now coming to an end but the Mayor has said he will never forget the ‘generosity of people from across the borough throughout the hardest of times’.

“From catering businesses providing hot meals, to those involved with St John’s Ambulance service, to the people who did grocery shopping for their shielding neighbours and so many, many others.
“They are an inspiration and the pride of our borough and it was an honour for me to recognise them over the last year by way of the certificate of recognition.”
To date the certificates have been awarded to a wide range of organisations, businesses, community groups, churches, sports clubs and individuals.
