By Deborah Bowyer 20th Apr 2026
A project which stops food going to landfill has been honoured at this year's annual Civic Awards.
This year Congleton MP, Sarah Russell, whose constituency covers Alsager, helped Alsager Mayor, Councillor Michael Unett, present the awards.
The affordable food club, the 'Bread and Butter Thing' based at Alsager Cricket Club on Monday received a volunteer award while Home Coffee in Lawton Road, which runs which community projects was awarded the business award.
Every Monday, anyone signed up for the 'Bread and Butter Thing' at Alsager Cricket Club can go along and collect several bags of food for a nominal fee. The service isn't means tested and anyone can apply.
'Hey Days' received the 'Great Neighbour' award while Wynne Thomas from the Home Hospital Service received the carer award. Alsager Cricket Club also won a volunteer award.
Alsager Civic Lunch Club and Alsager Lawn Tennis Club both received community awards.
Sarah Russell MP heaped praise on volunteers for their work and the part their play in helping the Alsager community to thrive.
