Gold St rAWARDS 2015

2014 was the 20th successive year we have held these awards for local heroes. That makes them the longest running awards of their kind in the entire West of England.

They celebrate people who have done extraordinary things. Some have saved lives, some have cared for others, some have raised huge sums for charity or have made a real difference to their communities. Others have faced adversity or illness with great courage.

All of the 2014 winners are then invited to Christmas lunch and the awards ceremony in December.

Since the awards were launched in 1994 we have celebrated some remarkable people. They have ranged in age from children of four years old to people in their 90s.

Each of them is special to us and will always have a place in our hearts.
