A Burnham-On-Sea charity was among the winners at the Sedgemoor Business Excellence Awards 2022 which were announced at a glittering event in Bridgwater.
Over 200 businesspeople from across the district attended the gala evening on Friday, which was organised by Bridgwater Chamber of Commerce and hosted by Sedgemoor FM’s Dave Englefield.
The award for ‘Community Engagement’ was awarded to Burnham-On-Sea charity Somewhere House Somerset, collected by Angie Clarke, Rob Jones and Mike Turner, pictured above.
Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge Mayor, Cllr Lesley Millard, also congratulated the group – which is her current charity of the year – during Saturday’s festive bazaar at Burnham Baptist Church.
The charity’s Mandy Ellis, pictured with Mark Andrews and the Mayor, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “It was a great honour to receive this award, which is wonderful recognition for our volunteers! We were very humbled to be nominated and thank the judges for choosing us as the overall winner.”
The 2022 finalists for the awards come from all corners of the district, including Cheddar, Burnham-On-Sea, Bridgwater, North Petherton, Highbridge and Nether Stowey.
