Cllr Callum Reilly chairs the Corby Pride working group on Corby Town Council. He said: “It really is overwhelming that we have been nominated for this award. We only held our first ever pride event last year so to be recognised in our infancy is a real honour and testament to the amazing community in Corby.”

A second Corby Pride is set to take place in Corby town centre on Saturday, June 22.

For the 2024 edition, Awards for All has granted Corby Town Council £17,160 to help fund a range of elements both on the big day and leading up to it.
