For several years the Town Council has presented the award to people who have made a significant contribution to the Kirkbymoorside community.

The award celebrates good work in the town and encourages people to nominate someone who has made a positive contribution to the town.

In 2022 the Community Award was presented to Helen Gundry and John Warriner.

For many years, Helen worked to improve the local bus services and create safe cycle track/footpath along the A170.

Helen also made a significant contribution to the community through her voluntary work with the Kirkbymoorside Environment Group.

John was awarded for his work with Kirkbymoorside Bowling Club since its inception in 1977.

He voluntarily maintained the Bowling Club grounds, enthusiastically and tirelessly over the past 45 years.
