Call for Community Champions to take part in Royal Norfolk Show – Wednesday 28 June 7:15pm

As an acknowledgement of the Coronation of Their Majesties The King and Queen, and their commitment to supporting community cohesion and volunteering, a tribute to community champions will take place at the Royal Norfolk Show on Wednesday 28 June 2023. The tribute, organised in partnership between the Norfolk Lieutenancy and the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, will gather nominated community champions from a range of community-based organisations, volunteering groups and recipients of already established local award schemes.

The tribute will involve the assembled community champions taking part in a massed gathering in the Show’s Grand Ring where they will be addressed by HM Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk, The Lady Dannatt MBE. The aim of the tribute is to say thank you to those who do so much for our communities and good causes and to acknowledge their work at the county’s biggest event of the year.

Mark Nicholas, Managing Director of the RNAA said ‘The Royal Norfolk Show has a long history of honouring and recognising achievement and this year we are particularly delighted to promote Norfolk’s champions who do so much for our communities’.

Leaders of Norfolk-based community groups, charities and volunteering organisations are encouraged to nominate up to two deserving volunteers to represent their organisation by taking part in the Community Champions Tribute.
