Extended awards deadline

The event, run by Sleaford Town Council in partnership with the Sleaford Standard, was due to take place on April 23, but was postponed due to the coronavirus lockdown.

The council is shifting the date to late September, possibly holding the ceremony in St Denys’ Church to enable social distancing.

In light of the amazing work by individuals, groups and businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, we have reopened the nomination process to those additional unsung heroes who live, work or go to school in Sleaford for this year’s awards. The deadline is July 31.
