The annual Hearts of Gold awards ceremony which was due to take place in Paphos in January has been postponed to a later date.
A spokesman for the popular event, now in its 12th year, explained that this was due to a medical emergency.
“We are so sorry that we will had to postpone the Hearts of Gold Cyprus awards ceremony due to a medical emergency. We are so upset about this but look forward to meeting all of the nominees soon.”
Hearts of Gold Cyprus is held under the auspices of the municipality of Paphos and with the support of the British High Commission in Nicosia. The patron is philanthropist, Charalambous Theopemptou, MP.

Members of the public are invited to nominate both children and adults that they believe deserve recognition for their efforts in the community, or a boost when facing challenges with fortitude and courage.
