Winners revealed at Beyond Radio Volunteer Awards Night

Beyond Radio has announced the winners of our annual Volunteer Awards to honour our amazing team of volunteers for the work they do throughout the year.

The event was held at the Trimpell sports and social club in Morecambe on Sunday and was hosted by Duncan Moore, Beyond Radio's communities director and volunteer co-ordinator.

Some of the award winners were decided by a panel, some were given by the Beyond Radio board of directors, and others were voted for by our volunteers.

There was also a Listeners' Choice Award for favourite programme, voted for by the Beyond Radio listeners.

Listeners voted via our app and one of them, Kelly Knowles, won tickets to attend the Awards Night itself.

For the first time, the Adam Stutchbury Memorial Award was given in memory of Beyond Radio volunteer Adam Stutchbury, who died earlier this year.

Live music at the event came from The Beets and The Howling Clowns.
