The event, which takes place at the Guild Hall, is a celebration of sporting teams, individuals and those who help make sports events happen in Preston.

Cabinet member for culture and leisure, councillor Veronica Afrin, said: “Craig is the perfect choice to be our guest speaker. His sporting story will motivate our award nominees and winners to continue with their dedication to sport in Preston.

“As I attend the awards ceremony every year, it’s pleasing to see how they have grown. The event is always a huge success and has become a major highlight in the Preston sporting calendar.”
