Winners revealed at Your Harrogate Local Hero Awards 2024

The Your Harrogate Local Hero Award winners 2024.

The annual Your Harrogate Local Hero Awards returned to Rudding Park to celebrate extraordinary people in the Harrogate district.

Three finalists were named across ten categories and were recognised and celebrated for their bravery, selflessness and dedication to help others.

And this year, a special ‘ultimate hero’ award was also crowned to cap off an amazing and inspirational evening. 

Although each of our finalists were worthy winners in their own right, one winner was selected for each category.

Here are your local heroes for 2024…
