Do you know someone doing wonderful things for your community? Is there an organisation which is making a real difference to local people?
If yes, you can now shine a spotlight on their hard work by nominating them for a South Hams Community Award.
The awards celebrate community heroes who go above and beyond to help local people every day.
The Chairman of the Council along with a panel of judges, are looking for nominations in four categories:
- The Young Persons Award (for under 18s)
- The Community Champion Award (for over 18s)
- The Community Organisation Award
- Climate and Biodiversity Champion Award
The Climate and Biodiversity Champion category, a new award for 2025 has been added to recognise those doing great things for the natural environment and helping to tackle climate change, one of our top priorities.
