SEFTON residents are once again invited to shine a spotlight on the incredible people who make their communities stronger, kinder, and more connected. Nominations are now open for the upcoming Citizens 4 Good event, which will take place on:- Thursday, 16 October 2025, from 5:30–7:00pm at Southport Town Hall.

This much-loved initiative, delivered in partnership between Sefton 4 Good, Sefton CVS and the Mayor of Sefton’s Office, recognises local people who go above and beyond to support others. From volunteers and fundraisers to neighbours who quietly make a difference, the event celebrates those whose compassion and commitment often go unseen.

Catrin Hughes, lead organiser, said:- “Citizens 4 Good allows us to tell the stories of people who are making a real difference across Sefton. Whether it’s a young person raising awareness for a cause, someone providing support to neighbours, or a Sefton resident creating positive change further afield—their contributions deserve recognition.”

At the October celebration, nominees will be personally thanked by the Mayor of Sefton, Councillor June Burns, and presented with a certificate of appreciation for their dedication and service.
