Community Inspiration Awards 2025: 1st Runner-Up in the Community Organisation Award!

We were thrilled to attend the 13th Community Inspiration Awards on Friday, 26th September, having been shortlisted for the Community Organisation Award!

💚What are the Community Inspiration Awards?

"The annual Community Inspiration Awards is organised by the Community Foundation, to recognise outstanding contributions made by staff from public sector organisations, charities, businesses and members of the community, whose efforts have made a positive difference in the community. With 15 award categories to choose from, you can nominate somebody who you think deserves an award. Individuals can also submit a self-nomination, with the support of an independent verifier. Individuals can be nominated for more than one award category where applicable."

The evening began with introductions from Nozmul Hussain, CEO of the Community Foundation, who then introduced the award categories, with various presenters announcing the winners.

Categories ranged from Life Time Achievement Award, Volunteer Award, Community Reassurance Award, Sport Award, etc. You can view the full list here.
