Club receives the Mayor’s “Make A Difference Award
Mayor of Colchester gives Award to Club
The Mayor of Colchester, Councillor Michael Lilley, hosted the Mayor's Awards 2026 at Colchester Town Hall on Wednesday 13th May.
The awards celebrated residents and organisations whose efforts have had a lasting and positive impact on daily life in the city.
This includes those who support vulnerable neighbours, help bring communities together, and preserve Colchester’s heritage.
Mr Lilley said:
"Colchester is full of people who give their time, energy and compassion to others, often without expecting thanks.
The Mayor’s Awards are about shining a light on those everyday acts of kindness and commitment that make our city a better place to live.
These are the people who remind us what community really means."
This year’s Making a Difference Awards highlighted organisations whose work frequently goes unnoticed but is deeply valued across the city.
Among those recognised were Colchester’s Rotary Clubs, praised for their long-standing commitment to community service, fundraising, and practical support for local events and causes.
