Winners of this year’s Arundel Community Awards were revealed in a reception at the Town Hall on Thursday 30 November 2023.
Hazel Sampson was the worthy winner of the Community Cup in 2023, for her 50 years of dedicated service to the town’s Brownie and Rainbow groups.
The Young Persons’ Commendation Cups went to Tilly Bondsfield and Isobel Johnson – both girls were commended for their volunteering work at Arundel Brownies and Rainbows and for being positive role models to the younger girls.
Community Recognition certificates were awarded to:
- John Paton for implementing his vision for The Victoria Institute as a thriving community hub
- Mike Carey for his continued support of The Victoria Institute, his work supporting the Arundel Festival of the Arts and his music at Farmers Market
- Hillside Stores for their cheerful and helpful support in their community
