Winners, organisers and sponsors at the 2016 Pride of South Holland Awards ceremony.

And the winners are…..Pride of South Holland Awards winners announced

The winners of the Pride of South Holland Awards 2016 have been announced.

Hundreds turned out this afternoon (Sat) to see the district’s unsung heroes honoured at a ceremony at Spalding’s South Holland Centre, hosted by Jan Whitbourn and Chris Carter of Tulip Radio.

Special guest, soapstar Andy Whyment – who plays Kirk Surtherland in Coronation Street – handed out the awards and certificates to commended and highly commended nominees as well as the winners.

This is the second year the Pride of South Holland Awards have been organised by Tulip Radio and the Spalding and South Holland Voice and sponsored by local businesses and district councillors.

With more than 90 nominations, judges had a difficult job narrowing the field and choosing the winners in the eight categories, with all saying that everyone who was nominated was worthy of an award for the work they do for their communities in so many different ways.
