Local Business Award
Our local businesses are very much the beating heart of our community and have faced the most challenging times in living memory over recent years, yet miraculously they have resiliently survived. Many of them have not only survived but gone the extra mile for the local community which is demonstrated by some of our amazing winner and nominees.

The Beacon Award
Although the pandemic might feel like a long time ago it really isn’t. As a community we faced many profound and tragic challenges. However, in the midst of the pandemic many people went above and beyond to help each other, so this award strives to recognise their kind and inspiring contribution. All the following nominees received an award:
  • Maghull High School for creating thousands of PPE items (Face visors) at the height of the pandemic which probably saved many lives.
  • Christine Menzies for making PPE face masks to enable people to carry on their normal lives when PPE was in short supply.
  • The Maghull Community Association volunteers who gave out food parcels in their own time to struggling families and vulnerable people.
  • Parkhaven Trust staff who went above and beyond during the pandemic to rise to the extraordinary challenges presented to them.
  • Scrummies Catering for their incredible community support
  • Home Bargains (Stafford Moreton Way) and team leader Billy Nightingale, who at short notice provided discounted items for the Maghull Town Council Christmas hampers that were given to 100 vulnerable residents in Maghull.
