If the answer is ‘yes’ then we want to hear from you.
The Melton Times Community Awards aim to recognise those unsung heroes who selflessly devote their time and efforts to benefit their community.
We run the event each year as our own way of saying a big ‘thank you’ to those people who make the Melton area such a special place to live and work.
