City Council Annual Awards – past recipients
Chichester City Council presents a series of awards each year to recognise individuals and groups who have made a significant contribution to the life and wellbeing of the City of Chichester.
Awards are also made to buildings that are of significance to the history of Chichester as well as those that have undergone works that have enhanced or made an impact on the City.
The Awards ceremony is held in February of each year and the past recipients are listed below.
Due to the social restrictions in place due to the Covid19 pandemic, the ceremony for the 2020 Awards was held virtually via Zoom.
A video of the ceremony, with subtitles, has been published on the City Council’s YouTube channel and can be viewed here:
