The nomination period for the 13th Community Inspiration Awards 2025 has now closed, and we are excited to share that we are currently shortlisting the outstanding nominations received.

​

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate inspiring individuals and teams whose dedication has made a meaningful impact in our community.

The awards ceremony will take place in Birmingham on Friday 26th September 2025 where our panel of esteemed judges will announce the finalists and winners. Like previous years, awards will be presented by various dignitaries, including Chief Officers from public sector organisations, council leaders and Members of Parliament.

The annual Community Inspiration Awards is organised by the Community Foundation, to recognise outstanding contributions made by staff from public sector organisations, charities, businesses and members of the community, whose efforts have made a positive difference in the community. With 15 award categories to choose from, you can nominate somebody who you think deserves an award. Individuals can also submit a self-nomination, with the support of an independent verifier. Individuals can be nominated for more than one award category where applicable.

Stay tuned for updates on this year’s finalists—we’ll be announcing them soon!
