Flourish Awards 2024

In September, the second annual Flourish Awards saw people from across Norfolk gather at the Royal Norfolk Showground Arena to celebrate the people, projects, teams and organisations that have made outstanding contributions to help children and young people in Norfolk flourish.

Hosted by the Children and Young People's Strategic Alliance (CYPSA), this year's awards received over 400 nominations for 222 different nominees.

Eight winners were announced across the categories, with 16 others recognised as worthy Finalists. Congratulations to all!
