Beverley Town Council has announced the return of the Best of Beverley Awards, celebrating the people, organisations and businesses in the town.
The awards recognise those who go above and beyond to support the community, whether through volunteering, running a local business, supporting neighbours or helping Beverley thrive as a welcoming market town.
Residents are being encouraged to get involved by nominating individuals, groups and businesses who represent the Best of Beverley.
Speaking about the return of the awards, the Mayor of Beverley Councillor Alison Healy said: “Beverley is full of remarkable people, organisations and businesses who make a real difference every day.
“The Best of Beverley Awards are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate their efforts and say a heartfelt thank you on behalf of the whole town.”
Nominations are invited across four categories:
Community Category – recognising community groups, voluntary organisations and local charities for the vital work they do to support Beverley and its residents.

Chain Business Category – recognising Beverley-based branches of national chains, including shops, cafes, pubs, restaurants, etc., that go above and beyond to support the local community.
