This is the sixth year that the Forest of Dean District Council has teamed up with The Forester to launch the awards which will be presented at the Chairman’s Charity Dinner on Friday 23 November at Whitemead Forest Park.
This year we have two new categories taking the total number of awards to nine. The two new categories are the Good Neighbour and Young Enterprise Award. To support these awards seven of them are generously sponsored by excellent local businesses.
