This year's Awards

Community Group of the Year

Is there a group of people who are the lifeblood of your community? Do you admire a group’s collective energy, enthusiasm or achievements?

Charity of the Year

Tell us about a charity that enhances the lives and wellbeing of residents in the Tunbridge Wells borough.

Sportsperson / Team of the Year

Through this award we’d like to recognise an individual, team or club who has made exceptional progress or made an important contribution to sport locally.

Green Business

Do you know or work for an organisation that is putting something back into the community or is committed to having a positive impact on the environment?

Volunteer of the Year

There are people in our borough who make a vital contribution to their community; are you inspired by someone’s dedication and commitment?

Young Volunteer of the Year

This award is for that young person you know who gives up their spare time to volunteer and, in doing so, contributes to the welfare of others, their community as a whole or the environment.

New Youth Organisation

This award celebrates a youth organisation that makes a positive difference to the lives of young people in the Tunbridge Wells borough.

We want to recognise groups that provide safe, inclusive and inspiring opportunities, helping young people to build confidence, develop skills and feel connected to their community. Whether through youth clubs, creative projects, social action or support services, tell us about an organisation whose dedication, energy and impact on young people truly deserves recognition.

Green Household

Is your household moving towards a greener future?

Have you started to make some lifestyle changes, or been making some for a while? Tell us what initiatives you are introducing at home to help and reduce your carbon emissions to be a little ‘greener’ than you were last year.

• Have you reduced your use of single-use plastic, improved biodiversity where you live with planting or protecting your local wildlife, started to grow your own veg?
• Maybe you have used the car less and walked and cycled to work or the local shops more?
• Are you careful about saving water or have you made a conscious effort to look at what you can reduce, reuse, or recycle before buying more or throwing something away?

Nominate your household and you just might inspire others.

Good Neighbour

Has someone carried out a small act of kindness that has meant a huge amount to you?

We want to hear about residents who are doing little things to help others in the community when they most need it. Everyone needs a helping hand from time to time, whether it’s emergency childcare, having some shopping delivered or help with the gardening. Someone may simply call by to check that you’re OK. What a neighbour! Let us know who has helped you this past year and we’ll do the rest.
