Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Valerie Harte, welcomed 33 amazing individuals and organisations to the Burrendale Hotel, in Newcastle, on Friday 29th September 2023. The annual event serves as a platform for the Council to recognise those people who have demonstrated outstanding service to the community, made a significant contribution to public life in Newry, Mourne and Down and have shown real dedication in helping local residents. The awards provide a unique opportunity to shine a well-deserved spotlight on our unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes, without seeking recognition. This year’s recipients were nominated for their contribution in the following four categories: Arts and Culture, Community and Voluntary, Human Endeavour and Sport.
