Active Lancashire have announced the shortlist for the Active Lancashire Awards, a ceremony that celebrates achievements in sport and physical activity across the county.
Many of the finalists were automatically shortlisted after previously winning awards at local district sports events, including from the recent Active Wyre Awards, Blackpool Active Lives Community Awards and Fylde Community Active Awards. Others entered the Active Lancashire Awards directly. Winners have been decided and will be announced at an award ceremony at Ewood Park, Blackburn, on 17th November. Tickets for the event are on sale now.
