Do you know a child in Sefton who deserves to be celebrated for showing remarkable courage?
We’d love you to nominate them for a Child of Courage Award, sponsored by Southport Pleasureland, in this year’s Pride Of Sefton Awards.
We are searching for nominees who have shown immense courage in the face of adversity. Courage comes in different shapes – is it a child who has battled illness, performed an act of bravery or done something truly remarkable while up against the odds?
Please email your nominations to: standupforsouthport@gmail.com or visit: prideofseftonawards.co.uk
Southport Pleasureland is the perfect sponsor for this award, having been dedicated to family entertainment since it first opened its gates 110 years ago.
As a park built on family values and with a sixth-generation showman as its CEO, there was really only one choice of award category to sponsor for 2023, and that is The Pride of Sefton’s Child of Courage.
Last year Southport Pleasureland began a relationship with Alder Hey Children’s Charity, supporting the hospital’s work through fundraising events and inviting visitors to add a small donation when booking Park tickets online. It was one of many family-focused causes the business has supported.
Southport Pleasureland CEO Norman Wallis said:
“The hospital the charity supports is a world centre of excellence and those in the Liverpool City Region are proud to call an outstanding specialist facility of this calibre ‘neighbour’.
“It is through this relationship and others like it that we, as a sponsoring business, have learned more and more of the courage of children and their families in some of their darkest times – and it is humbling.
“Our business is to provide happy experiences and space for children and families to relax, have fun and enjoy themselves. We happen to believe there’s no better business to be in.”
People and groups who go above and beyond to make Sefton a special place for all will be presented with their trophies and given thanks in the Princess Grace Suite at The Grand on Lord Street in Southport town centre on Friday, 28th April 2023.
The unmissable night in the Merseyside events calendar will be presented by actress and radio personality Claire Simmo, and supported by Media Partner In Demand Radio.
All those on the shortlist will be invited to a special celebratory meal in beautiful surroundings while the awards are presented, with a night of entertainment planned.
The first ever Pride Of Sefton Awards are being organised by Mikhail Hotel and Leisure Group and Stand Up For Southport.
Nominations are still being invited across all 13 categories ahead of the closing date on 6th March 2023.
We are looking for nominations, across Southport, Formby, Crosby, Bootle, Maghull and elsewhere in the borough of Sefton.
