One in four adults in England volunteer formally, through a club or other organisation, at least once a month (and many more do things informally too). To replace these 10.6 million people with paid workers would cost nearly £20 billion. We want to celebrate these men and women across the county, who tirelessly give their time and energy to help others. Whether it is running clubs, tending to open spaces, inspiring children, creating art, cooking meals, listening, providing support to new parents, or providing school children with breakfast. Awards will be offered across a range of themes, including Health and Well-being, Leisure and Sports, Environment/Animal Care, Creativity and Heritage, Inspiring Young Person, Community Impact, Trustee/Management committee member, and Long Standing volunteer.” 

The 2023 winners will be announced at celebration events across the county in the Autumn. 

Anyone who wishes to nominate a volunteer or team of volunteers simply needs to complete a brief form which can be easily done online, saying why they have nominated the individual or group. A volunteer supervisor can nominate their own volunteer team.
