Beverley and Holderness MP Graham Stuart said: “We’re all bombarded by bad news on a daily basis – but wonderful things happen in our community each and every day.
“That’s why I’m celebrating the work of our Community Champions – people who make a real difference to our community in literally countless ways.
“Be it Darren England for his work with veterans in Withernsea, the Cherry Tree Community Centre for providing vital services for Beverley, Jacky Stringer for painting benches in Hornsea or Steve Peirson’s work for the village of Cherry Burton, we live in an area full of wonderful acts of service.
“I applaud each and every one of them, and hope that they serve as an example for all.”
