Wayne Bulpitt, Chair, Guernsey Community Foundation said: ‘We are very proud of the Community Awards, our flagship event, which serves to highlight the very depth and breadth of the amazing voluntary work going on in our community. By nature, a lot of the good work goes on under the radar so the Community Awards are a wonderful way to bring it, and the people who make it happen, to the forefront for one night.’
