Chesterfield FC honours community heroes with glittering awards ceremony
The Technique Stadium witnessed a night of high emotion off the pitch recently, at the Chesterfield FC Community Awards.
The event, which was sponsored by KranLee Logistics, saw 13 awards handed out to reccognise outstanding individual acts of kindness and bravery from people in our local area.
The club’s marketing manager, Bridget Ball, said: “It was a truly humbling experience to listen to the stories told on the night about the award winners by those who had nominated them.
