Female Team Volunteer of the Year went to Hannah Bryan, Male Team Volunteer of the Year to Cameron Gaffney, and Sportsman of the Year went to Paralympic Goalball star Adam Knott.
Special awards also went to Adam Hewitt, Elliott Braund and Liam Francis for hours spent as Football Volunteers with the Hampshire FA, and Siobhan Harrison for using her swimming prowess to help the Basingstoke and Deane Rotary Club.
