The winners receiving their awards from the owner and manager of Peterborough United FC, Barry Fry and Clive Thomas from Combined Insurance

Combined Insurance teamed up with the Peterborough Evening Telegraph to launch the superb Make It Happen award scheme in Peterborough.

The Community Awards programme, called “Make it Happen”, gave away a share of a £10,000 prize pool to people, groups and charities who wanted to benefit the community in the Peterborough area.

Later in the year, a panel of judges decided which of the awards entries were most beneficial to the community and most deserving of the cash, then award winners were invited to a special awards ceremony.
