Westhoughton mayor Jo Worthington paid tribute to the town's hard-working volunteers as the local Rotary Club handed out £2,100 to good causes.
Twenty organisations received cheques during the club's annual presentation event.
And two leading volunteers were awarded certificates in recognition of their dedication to the people of Westhoughton.
John Morris received a certificate for helping start Westhoughton Rangers FC and Harry Durkin was given a certificate for his work at Westhoughton's youth drop-in centre.
