An author from Whitchurch has been nominated in Shropshire’s Businesses for Children Awards.

Lorna McCann has been nominated in the category for Children’s Product 2018.

The Businesses for Children Awards, now in its fifth year, shines a light on the hard work undertaken by those working across the county to support children and young people.

The winners of each category will be revealed at a glittering awards ceremony at the Park Inn Hotel, Telford, on March 10, 2018.

Trish Parsons, co-ordinator of the 2018 event, said more than 100 nominations were received.

She said: “Our judges all said they found it very hard to compile their list of finalists from the nominations.

“We are really looking forward to this year’s ceremony. It is always such an inspiring event and we know our winners really value their awards. The achievement stays with them for years to come and is a huge confidence booster for those doing fantastic work in the county for our young people.”
