The awards, which originated with the late, great Derryman Martin McCrossan, provided an opportunity to recognise all the fantastic work and achievements of local people from right across the north west.
Mayor of Derry & Strabane Patricia Logue was among the special guests in attendance and this year’s charity was the amazing HURT (Have Your Tomorrows) NI.
Well done to all the winners and the other incredible finalists.
Thank you to principal sponsor Bet McLean and category sponsors City of Derry Airport, Calor, Specsavers, Ulster University, Apex Housing Association, Derry City & Strabane District Council, The Kingsbridge Foundation, Allstate Northern Ireland and NW Care.
We hope to see everyone back again next year for the 2024 awards!
