The Child of Sussex Awards winners for 2022 have just been crowned. The annual awards presented by Sussex Living magazine and More Radio, were awarded on 15th July at a glitzy ceremony at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, with headline sponsors ABN Amro and Gold Arts, writes Oliver Dyer

The evening celebrated the courage, bravery, and outstanding achievements of Sussex's inspirational young heroes; from sporting star to best sister, a total of 13 awards were up for grabs. The event was presented by Tom, Lou and Jack from the More Radio Breakfast Show.

They trio commented, “There were some hugely deserving award recipients on stage with some inspiring, heart-warming, and sometimes tear-jerking stories to tell. The team at More Radio feel very proud to be able to recognise these extremely special children. A big thank you to all our award sponsors this evening as an event like this wouldn’t be possible without the help of the businesses and organisations that support us.”
