CN Group’s Spirit of Cumbria Awards 2016 recognised the county’s flood heroes – those who went above and beyond to help their neighbours, communities and often complete strangers.
It was a chance to say thank you to all those who helped and give special recognition to 14 winners, selected from more than 250 nominations.
The ceremony also recognised emergency service workers – including police officers, firefighters, mountain rescue, lifeboat workers and military personnel – who went above and beyond the call of duty, and paid tribute to council workers and others who worked around the clock to get the county back on its feet as quickly as possible.
