About the Awards
The Locality Awards celebrate the most dedicated and inspiring people and organisations in the Locality network.
They step in when others look away, they fill a need that’s not being met, and create spaces at the heart of our communities where lives are transformed.
What winners receive
Each Locality Award winner will receive a:
- Trophy for recognition of their work
- £1,000 cash prize to invest into their community or organisation
All finalists and their achievements will also be celebrated and promoted throughout the Locality network and may even get a mention in the press!
