Last weekend St Andrew’s Church Shifnal was aglow with pride and community spirit as Shifnal came together to honour the individuals and businesses who make our town such a special place to live. The Celebrating Shifnal Awards Ceremony was a moving evening filled with applause, appreciation, and admiration.
Each award was presented by Vice Lord-Lieutenant Jenny Wynn, adding ceremonial dignity to the occasion. Ahead of every presentation, Cllr Mayor Paul Williamson read aloud a heartfelt tribute explaining exactly why each recipient had been chosen, reminding everyone present of the depth of their contributions to our community.
