The winners were announced in November last year, and the video has been made to replace the usual awards ceremony. Mid Sussex Applauds seeks to recognise those who go above and beyond in their efforts for our community. Chairman of Mid Sussex District Council, councillor Colin Trumble, said: “It is truly heart-warming to read the stories of everyone nominated. Living through extraordinary times has highlighted how fantastic our community is and how people really step up in times of adversity. Huge congratulations to everyone awarded and those commended, they really are stars in our community.” Keep an eye on our website over the next week to see the videos as they’re released.
