Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council is seeking nominations for its annual Making a Difference community awards, which recognise residents who volunteer and support others in the borough.
The council is urging residents to nominate an individual or group they believe deserves recognition for the help they give to the community. Both individual and group categories are available.
What the awards recognise
Councillor Michael Mullaney, Executive Member for the Voluntary Sector at the Borough Council, said the awards are "a fantastic way to shine a light on the individuals and groups who generously give their time and energy to support others."
He added: "Their efforts, often unseen, have made a real impact, especially in recent years, and many residents will have felt that support first-hand. It's a privilege to be able to honour some of the most dedicated and compassionate people in our borough, those who strive to uplift others, strengthen their communities, and make our shared spaces better for everyone."
How to nominate
Nominations must be received by Friday 9 October 2026. A judging panel will consider all entries.
The awards will be presented at the voluntary and community sector celebration event at Hinckley Rugby Club on the afternoon of Thursday 12 November 2026. All individuals nominated, and representatives from groups nominated, will be invited to attend.
