Community spirit was in full swing at Bawburgh Golf Club on Friday July 4th as South Norfolk Council celebrated the outstanding contributions of its residents at the 2025 Community Awards.

The event brought together local leaders, volunteers, and proud family members to celebrate those who go the extra mile for their communities. Ten awards were handed out, each spotlighting a remarkable story of dedication, creativity, and heartfelt compassion.

Wymondham was recognised when a Special Recognition Award was presented to Richard Hyde for the huge contribution he has made at Ashwellthorpe Lower Wood and through Wymondham Nature Group. His craftsmanship has also raised thousands of pounds for the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.

Each winner was presented with a certificate and received £250 to donate to their chosen community group or voluntary organisation.
