'I am honoured to be part of such a special event. Now in its seventh year, I still feel it is just as important to thank all the people in North Lincolnshire who go above and beyond to make a difference or to achieve great things.

'The awards recognise people for their dedication to volunteering, overcoming personal barriers or excelling in the fields of sports or the arts. They are all inspirational in their own right.
