The Ashford Community Awards 2025 have been launched to celebrate local champions, inspiring individuals who make a significant contribution to their communities. The awards align with the Council’s priorities – people, place and planet as outlined in our Borough Plan – and we are urging residents to get your nominations in today. They provide an opportunity to honour the hard work and dedication of Ashford’s finest who have helped enrich the lives of others in their community, who have made significant achievements or who have acted as role models for our residents. Nominations are being invited for those people who have delivered community service by outstanding achievement or dedicated contribution within the borough. It could be someone who goes out of their way to help elderly or vulnerable neighbours, or a young person who volunteers for charity.
Ashford Borough Council Chief Executive Tracey Kerly said: “Many of us know somebody who makes selfless contributions to others, people who give of themselves for others in their respective communities. Across our borough are people who are quietly remarkable. “There are people who make a substantial contribution to their community and who help enrich the lives of others. The awards will shine a spotlight on these community heroes.” An awards ceremony will take place in October at The Ashford Cinema at Elwick Place.
The award categories are:
Community Champion Award: awarded to an individual or group of people who have voluntarily helped to change the lives of others within their community. This could be a good neighbour or a person in your local community.
Inspiring Young Person of the Year Award: awarded to a person under the age of 18 who has made a positive impact in their community or achieved something exceptional.
