UK Community Food Charity wins Hertsmere Award.
Hertsmere’s unsung heroes have been recognized for their efforts and longstanding service at the council’s annual Civic Awards in March.
From community champions and volunteers to youth leaders, the great and the good in the borough were rewarded in this year’s awards ceremony, held at Elstree Studios.
Mayor of Hertsmere, Cllr Brenda Batten, said: “I’d like to say thank you and well done to all of this year’s award winners. In their individual ways, each one has made a difference to the lives of others. I hope their example will inspire other volunteers to come forward and help make the borough an even safer, happier place to live and work.” Civic Award Winners included Shantasya dasi and Japa Yajna das for their work with Gratitude, a charity which takes unsold supermarket food and cooks vegetarian meals for the needy in Borehamwood.
