We are in the finals of Workplace of The Year category for the Living Sports Awards

Cambridge Regional College is through to the finals of a competition that celebrates community sports across the region.

The college has been voted by the public in the Workplace of The Year category for the Living Sports Awards.

The awards are an annual event, which celebrates the brilliant achievements of the many talented athletes, officials, coaches, volunteers, organisations, and clubs in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

Winners will be announced in a presentation evening at the end of November.

Simon Fairhall, Chief Executive of Living Sports, said: “We once again have a fantastic shortlist of nominees for our Sports Awards and the contribution made by them, individually, let alone collectively is really quite inspiring.

” Community sport would not exist without the significant contribution made by organisers and coaches, most of whom are volunteers, and their organisations and our Sports Awards are a great occasion for us to celebrate, recognise and reward this.”

Peter Swann, from media partner BBC Radio Cambridgeshire, said: “We’re excited to be continuing our partnership with the Living Sport Sports Awards and once again celebrating the achievements of some of Cambridgeshire’s most talented, dedicated and passionate people.

“Sport is an important part of Cambridgeshire life, and we love telling those stories on air.”
