On Thursday 28th November The Caterham Festival won a £2,500 share of £20,000 in the Surrey Mirror's inaugural Heart of the Community Awards held at Nutfield Priory.
The awards honoured some of the many selfless groups, charities and organisations that do amazing work to make a difference in our neighbourhoods.  There were winners in three categories, environment, education and community and the Caterham Festival came first in the community category, the only Caterham group to win an award.  Sam Gyimah presented the awards together with the sponsors, Partnership.
Chairman of the Caterham Festival, Andy Parr said:  “We are delighted to have won and thank you to all our supporters who voted for us.  The money will help to ensure the continuation of the Festival.”
