There are many community-minded citizens who go the extra mile to help improve Boston, and the search is on once again to find one to honour with the annual Robert Lauberts Environment and Communities Achievement Award.

Rob, a hard-working supporter of Boston in Bloom died in 2015 after a short battle with cancer.

He was also the enthusiastic chairman of Main Ridge East Placecheck Group, secretary of Boston Greenscapers, chairman of Boston Big Local Boosting Economy Group and the chairman of the Boston Community Forum. He was driven in his volunteering efforts by a passion to make Boston a better place to live.

Previous winners of this award have been presented in Rob's memory to Rodney Bowles in 2016, Pete Desforges in 2017, Neville Dodd in 2018, Paul Collingwood in 2019, Bridget Sykes in 2022 and Adrian Isaac in 2023.
