Nominations for the 2025 Community Star Awards are now open!

Win £250 for your superstar volunteer and £250 for your charity or community group.

If you’re involved in a charity or community group in our Heartland Area* and know a superstar volunteer, you can nominate them for our 2025 Community Star Award or Environmental Star Award to recognise their dedication and commitment to your group or cause.

The award winners will each receive £250 as a cheque or vouchers (of their choice) and their charity or group will also bag £250 to spend on whatever they wish – whether it’s new equipment, a lick of paint and some TLC, the latest kit, or just promoting what they do.

The awards will be decided by judges from the Society, including an independent member, and will be announced at our Community Celebration Event which follows our AGM on Thursday 24 April 2025 from 5.30pm at:

Newstart Theatre, Portland College, Nottingham Road, Mansfield, Notts NG18 4JT.

Closing date for nomination is midnight on Friday 4 April 2025.

*The award is open to existing volunteers at registered charities and community groups in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire, excluding organisations involved in party political activities, religious causes and commercial enterprises.
