Westminster City Council recognised its local heroes this week at an inspiring Community Awards ceremony held in Soho.
The awards were a chance to celebrate and highlight people in the community who make a real difference, recognising the wide range of contributions that our residents make.
One of the winners was The Mosaic Community Trust, who took home the Neighbourhood Centre of the Year award. They shared:
It means a lot to us to be recognised by Westminster City Council for our hard work. As much as we are grateful for winning, this award belongs to our community. Community is the pillar of what we do, and this one is for them”.
Mike Smith, runner up of the Active Citizen of the Year and the Building Social Cohesion Award, said:
I feel overwhelmed by the ceremony. It’s brought so many people together for the first time since the pandemic, and it shows that we’ve all kept on fighting for our community and Westminster – despite the difficult times that we have faced.”
Councillor Cara Sanquest, Cabinet Member for Communities, said:
I am so proud that we have relaunched Westminster City Council’s Community Awards. Our voluntary and community sector organisations, their staff and incredible volunteers go above and beyond to serve our communities. As a council, we recognise and value all of these contributions.
These awards celebrate their skills, experience, generosity of spirit and incredible energy that individuals and organisations bring to their work across the city. A huge thank you to all those who took the time to make a nomination, and congratulations to all our runners up and the winners!”
