Extraordinary acts of kindness have been done from people right across the city – from those working on the frontline of the pandemic, to the community groups and friendly neighbours checking in on people.

Mayor of Preston, Councillor David Borrow, said: “The past twelve months has been a testing time for all of us, but there have been people and organisations across all of our communities who have stepped up to help others in many ways.

“In one way or another, we have all been affected by the pandemic. It has had an impact on our physical and mental health, restricted our freedoms, limited our businesses and taken the lives of loved ones.

“It’s not over yet, but we would like to take a moment to show our appreciation for those who have gone above and beyond.

“This is an opportunity to recognise and honour individuals and groups whose efforts and gestures – no matter how big or small – have really made a difference in our communities.
