GOOD SORT AWARD
A good sort is an ordinary person doing something extraordinary. The winner will have a history of selflessly giving of their time; doing it to help others out and seeing people, primary care or their profession flourish. They generously contribute their expertise for training or act as a community adviser or leader without necessarily having this in their title
WINNER
