The Croydon Guardian has won a Mighty Men of Valour Award for its commitment to the local community.
The news team was nominated for the award alongside companies including Crystal Palace Football Club and the Croydon Advertiser to scoop the award for the business that most supports the local community.
A panel of judges awarded the title to the Croydon Guardian for its work championing Croydon.
Frederick Clarke, Mighty Men co-ordinator, said: "The Croydon Guardian was chosen because the articles in the newspaper support the local community and the campaigns the newspaper runs always look to champion those in Croydon."
The Mighty Men of Valour is a peer support group for men of all ages which encourages, motivates and supports men to identify and fully embrace their role in society using ethical principles and values.
Croydon Guardian reporter Sami Mokbel said: "We are immensely proud to have been acknowledged by the Mighty Men of Valour awards.
"As a local newspaper, we endeavour to ensure we do all we can to give as much back to the community. Rest assured we will continue to champion Croydon in this way."
