Councillor Pete Lee, Mayor of Dudley, said:
“Dudley is home to so many inspiring, kind‑hearted individuals, and we want to recognise those who consistently go the extra mile to make our borough a better place. I’m encouraging residents to put forward the people who truly make a difference for this year’s Mayor’s Civic Awards.
“This special event brings our communities and local businesses together to celebrate these unsung heroes, while also raising vital funds for charitable causes across the borough.”
