The winners will receive their award as part of the festivities, recognising their outstanding contribution to their family or local community and their strength during challenging circumstances.

Special guests on the evening include Boulevards’ Miss Rory, Kema Kay (rapper and star of ‘I Daniel Blake’), musicians Kay Greyson, singer-songwriter Aimee Lambert, Cramlington Crew Steel Band and more.
