"The Wilmslow Community Awards shine a light on the individuals, businesses and groups within the community who go out of their way to help others and make Wilmslow a better place.
"They highlight, celebrate and show our appreciation of the people who give hours and hours of their own time, making a big contribution to the community spirit of Wilmslow and expecting nothing in return.
"It was a privilege to be able to give our thanks to community members and groups last year, and we look forward to doing it again in a few months' time."
