Cramlington Rockets were named Club of the Year at the Rugby Football League Community Awards, which took place on at Old Trafford on Betfred Super League Grand Final Day.
The Awards were celebration of the outstanding work across all aspects of the Community Game - including everything from schools and Touch Rugby League, through to the Club game.
On receiving the award, delighted Chairman Jeff Ball said: "This means a lot to a lot of people back home.
"Rugby league is a fantastic product and we're so proud to be a part of it. There's a lot of amazing work taking place in the North East.
"There is a lot more to come. So keep your eye on us."
Coach of the Year was handed to Richard Knight after a stellar year with Underbank Rangers, meanwhile Rob Butland was named Volunteer of the Year thanks to his remarkable efforts in introducing Rugby League to every primary school in Cornwall.
