Honouring the hard work and dedication of the over 65s<\/h2>\n

Now in their 7th year, The Churchill Awards celebrate the achievements of those aged over 65 and showcases their contribution to British life during the past year. In 2018, the winners were announced at an exclusive lunchtime ceremony at Claridge\u2019s, London on Wednesday 10th April. The judging panel for this year\u2019s awards included other well-known figures such as Dame Esther Rantzen DBE (TV & radio), Helen Lederer (stage & screen), Nick Bailey (classical music), and Lawrie McMenemy (sport).<\/p>\n

Miriam Margolyes and Dame Jacqueline Wilson DBE led a star-studded celebration at this year\u2019s Churchill Awards for the over 65s, to recognise the huge contribution that those in this age group make across many aspects of our society. This year\u2019s winners included Joanna Lumley, Jilly Cooper, John Humphrys, Jimmy Tarbuck, Bob Wilson and Dame Julie Walters.<\/p>\n

Alongside the celebrities and famous faces, it was also an opportunity to reward some special members of the public for some extraordinary achievements that deserve wider recognition. Three special \u2018Local Hero\u2019 Awards went to Malcolm Dent, Ged Hollyoake, and Janet Lynn, honouring them for the work they do in their local communities. \u2018Churchill Owner\u2019 awards were also presented to David and Jeannette Nightingale, Maureen Westwood and Joyce Lockwood for their contributions towards everyday life at their respective Churchill Retirement Living developments in Quinton and Eastleigh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Churchill Awards highlight what a fantastic contribution the over 65s are making to our society, and it\u2019s a chance to showcase everything this age group continues to offer. It was a pleasure to welcome all our winners to celebrate with us this year, and I\u2019d like to congratulate them all on their impressive achievements over the last year. I\u2019d also like to thank all our judges and everyone who has played a part in making these awards such a success yet again this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There were also two special charity awards from Churchill\u2019s charitable arm \u2013 the Churchill Foundation \u2013 with winners Kevin Whately (of Morse and Lewis fame) and Ken Syvret each receiving a \u00a31,000 donation to support their respective charities, the Alzheimer\u2019s Society and Guide Dogs For The Blind. With the Churchill Foundation also making donations to the \u2018Churchill Owners\u2019 and \u2018Local Hero\u2019 Award winners\u2019 chosen charities, the overall amount raised at the event totalled \u00a35,000.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Growing older is something to be celebrated, and the winners of these awards are shining examples of older people who contribute in every walk of life. They have all made a difference to the lives of millions of people over the past year, and this is a wonderful opportunity to showcase and celebrate their achievements. I wholeheartedly congratulate them all for providing us with such inspirational role models.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
