Community Champion Awards

Summary

Building on the success of the 2023 awards we were thrilled to once again bring the Dunfermline Press Community Champion Awards to the wider Fife community.  These awards recognise, reward, celebrate and honour the achievements and endeavours undertaken each and every day by the local people in the communities throughout West Fife, Dunfermline and the surrounding area. We want to celebrate those who make our communities a better place to live and work in.

There were 11 awards up for grabs. Winners were announced at the awards ceremony on Thursday, June 13th at the Glen Pavilion
