The ‘Making It Happen’ awards is always a fantastic evening and we can’t wait to see who is nominated for next year.”
“We want you to get involved by putting forward a person or organisation who you feel deserves recognition for the work they do. The deadline is at 4pm on Friday 31 December 2022.”
The awards will take place on Wednesday 15 March 2022 at St Nicholas’s Church, Sevenoaks and will see people from across the District being rewarded for their hard work and contribution.
