The Mayor of Sefton, along with Sefton 4 Good, acknowledged 26 Sefton residents, institutions and groups for their significant positive contributions to the Sefton community and beyond. The first Citizens 4 Good event of the year was held on 7th March at Bootle Town Hall.
Mayor of Sefton, Councillor June Burns, presented certificates and expressed gratitude to the individuals being honoured for their impactful efforts in Sefton borough. The Citizens 4 Good Awards, a collaborative effort between the Mayor of Sefton’s Office and Sefton CVS, aims to showcase the altruistic actions of local residents.
This year, to celebrate the Borough of Sefton turning 50, Sefton 4 Good wish to recognise 50 people at the Citizens 4 Good Awards throughout the year.
“Those who have received an award this time embody the spirit of community, their actions uplift and strengthen the fabric of our neighbourhoods. Without them, Sefton would not be the same”.
