Active Lincolnshire award nominations open
Nominations are now open for this year's Lincolnshire Sport and Physical Activity Awards.
The public is being invited to celebrate the remarkable people, clubs, schools, organisations and community groups who are making a real difference to people’s lives through sport and physical activity.
The annual awards, organised by Active Lincolnshire, recognise the dedication, passion and impact of those who are helping residents be more active more often and live healthier and happier lives. They shine a light on inspiring stories that show how sport and physical activity can transform lives and strengthen communities.
“It's free to enter and only take a few minutes. You can nominate individuals, yourself and organisations. All category finalists are invited to attend as our guests at the award ceremony in Lincoln. Sharing your story can help showcase the incredible impact of being active and inspire others to get involved,” said Paul Chandler of Active Lincolnshire.
The nine award categories will recognise a wide range of achievements and successes from the grassroots volunteer who always goes the extra mile to a club working hard to create inclusive opportunities or a dedicated coach inspiring the next generation to an individual transforming their own life.
Paul added “We’re delighted to bring these community awards to Lincolnshire. We encourage the people of Lincolnshire to share their stories by making a nomination. The awards are a showcase for the positive impact that being active has on people lives, and to celebrate the people whose passion, dedication and commitment, make sport and physical activity accessible, inclusive, and life changing."
The categories are:
- Active Achievement Award
- Active Change Award
- Active Club Award
- Active Youth Champion Award
- Impact on Health Award
- Inclusion & Diversity Award
- Outstanding Service to Sport & Physical Activity Award
- Positive Experiences for Children and Young People Award
