Highlighting Heroes at North Lynn Community Awards

During the month of November, the RISE team organized the very first North Lynn Community Awards. The evening was attended by over 70 members of the community who came to celebrate the achievements of community champions across the neighborhood. The evening began with an opening from Mayor of King's Lynn and West Norfolk Andy Bullen, Cllr Bullen described the evening as "the beginning of a wonderful yearly event". 

The awards shone a light on some of the incredible work that happens in and around North Lynn, from community impact awards for youth and adults, to neighbour of the year, it was an inspiring display of the good that happens in communities throughout the year.
