The Spirit of Corby Awards: Foodbank volunteers win
Organised by Corby Town Council, these Awards celebrate the very best of Corby’s community, nominated by the people of our town.
Volunteers at Corby Foodbank, who distribute three-day emergency, non-perishable food parcels to local people in food crisis, collected the award at an emotional ceremony on Friday 22 November.
On the night, nominees, sponsors, and guests filled into the Best Western Hotel to hear the winners announced.
The Volunteer Spirit of Corby Award recognises an individual or group who have shown exceptional dedication volunteering for a local cause, ongoing project or one off event.

Stewart & Lloyds Corby RFC were also amongst winners, receiving the Club Spirit Award – more on this in our sports recap later.
