Members of the south Lincolnshire CRT were presented with the accolade during a ceremony to recognise the outstanding contributions by people from around the district.
Richard Holland, Acting Station Officer of Sutton Bridge CRT, said: “To have our late nights, interruptions, and sacrifices recognised in this way means a great deal to all of us.
“We are grateful for this award and for the continued support we receive from our community. It is an honour to serve.”
We remain on call 24/7, ready to respond whenever our community needs us.
The event was attended by a special guest, actor Colson Smith from Coronation Street, with the celebrations featuring a performance by Britain’s Got Talen star Max Fox.
Richard added: “It was a pleasure to be in a room filled with inspirational people from across South Holland, each with their own stories of commitment to their communities.
“It was a memorable occasion that truly showcased the very best of our region.
“Serving our community is at the heart of everything we do, and it means a great deal to know that our efforts make a difference.
"The team is proud to serve the Spalding and South Holland area, as well as the wider south Lincolnshire and north Norfolk coastline. We remain on call 24/7, ready to respond whenever our community needs us.”
