Each year the Mayor has the honour of awarding the Peter Stephens Cup to the best performance during their Mayoral year.
As Mayor I have enjoyed lots of performances and it’s been incredibly hard to chose one. My husband and I have enjoyed every event and performance we have attended.
I am pleased to give this year’s Best Performance Cup to Memory Box Singers!
The wonderful volunteers bring singing and music to those affected by a mild to moderate cognitive impairment and those who attend really enjoy singing and meeting together to perform.
The Mayor’s Award is given to an individual or organisation who have shown great dedication and service to the town. In 2025 the award was given to Saltash Community Fire Station for their services to Saltash. As a town we are very lucky to have the Saltash Community Fire Station there should we need them. .
