Raising the Profile of the Town (team) sponsored by Bedford Radio
Bedford Radio is once again helping us find those individuals that want to put Bedford in the spotlight by supporting the Raising the Profile of the Town (team) category.
If you know of a group of people or an organisation that proves to people in other parts of the UK and beyond that Bedford punches above its weight, then this is the award you need to nominate them for.
We’re looking for teams of two or more people who have done everything from organising events to representing our Borough in their chosen field and promoted Bedford as either a brilliant place to be or home to excellent people.
If they help make Bedford look brilliant then we want to celebrate what they do.
Award sponsor, Martin Steers of Bedford Radio said: “Bedford has so much to offer, it’s arts, culture, local music scene, it’s events and it’s diverse communities, all make it a great place to visit, live or work, and raising the profile of our great town is so vitally important.
“As Bedfordians we should be proud of our town, and all play our part in raising it’s profile, to those within the town, and those outside, this is part of our aims as Bedford Radio, and why we’re proud to sponsor this award that recognises those go above and beyond to raise the profile of Bedford”
Please remember the nomination must be for activities carried out between January and December 2023.
