What awards are there?

There are eight separate awards you can nominate people for:

• Benefitting Broxtowe Award – Our most prestigious award. The nominee needs to have made an impact on a large area, or large number of people, in Broxtowe.
• Community Hero Award – For someone who has gone above and beyond for their community as a whole, or for an individual within their community.
• Culture and Heritage Award – The nominee needs to have had a demonstrable impact on local cultural and heritage organisation or the preservation of local heritage.
• Green Futures Award – An award for people involved in projects that have a nature, environmental, and/or sustainability focus.  
• Lifetime Achievement Award – A prestigious award for people who have volunteered in Broxtowe for a minimum of 20 years. These do not need to be consecutive years, but the nominee does need to have either finished their voluntary work within the last twelve months or still be volunteering at the time of nomination.
• Sporting Volunteer Award – The nominee should be someone who has volunteered for sports clubs or sports-focused organisations in Broxtowe and a positive impact on the lives of others through their work.
• Young Volunteer Award – An award for children and young people (aged under 18 on 23 November 2025) who have contributed to Broxtowe through fundraising or volunteering efforts. This award is sponsored by Boyes.
• Youth Work Volunteer Award – For an adult who has volunteered to help improve the lives of young people in Broxtowe.
