Winners were chosen across 12 categories, which included sporting achievement, arts, culture and heritage and diversity and inclusion, while individuals were also recognised for volunteering, mentoring and outstanding achievement.
Community leaders, volunteers, educators, cultural organisations and residents came together for the evening, which raised £2,773 for the Mayor’s chosen charity Camphill MK, which supports adults with learning disabilities, through a silent auction and raffle.
Reflecting on the evening Mayor Cllr James Lancaster said: “These awards shine a light on the incredible individuals and organisations who make Milton Keynes the caring, ambitious and vibrant city it is.
“Each of our winners has made a meaningful difference, and it is a privilege to recognise their achievements.”
