Nominations for the 2026 NK Community Champion Awards are open, and give people the chance to shine a spotlight on a community-focused business that deserves recognition.
One of the awards celebrates businesses that make a positive difference through their support for local communities. The Duke of Wellington in Leasingham took home the title last year. Could your business be next?
Nominations close on 14 September. Self-nominations are welcome, as are those from customers or community groups supported through a business’s generosity, such as donations, volunteering, or community-focused work.
