Deputy leader at Mid Sussex District Council Alison Bennett said: “As we launch the Mid Sussex Applauds Awards for 2024, I encourage everyone to reflect on the unsung heroes among us, the groups, individuals, societies, and organisations who are essential in making Mid Sussex great. Take some time to nominate these fantastic groups and individuals and join us in giving them the recognition they deserve.”

The awards are now in their fourth year and champion the efforts of people who make Mid Sussex a special place to live and work. Previous awards have recognised young people who go the extra mile, climate champions, people who support diversity and inclusion, and those who help bring communities together.

The Mid Sussex Applauds Awards take place on March 24.
