Nominations for the annual Horsforth Town Council Heart of Horsforth Awards are open and nominations are invited from all walks of Horsforth life.
The awards acknowledge the work done in the community by individuals and groups over the year who make a difference in the area.
Nominations are invited for individuals and groups in five categories.
The Volunteering Awards for individuals under and over 21 years recognise those who have made a difference in Horsforth through their voluntary work.
The Business Award goes to a business that has contributed to and supported the community through their work in the area.
The Community Award is for a voluntary organisation in the town that provides a service and the Environmental Award goes to an individual or group whose work makes Horsforth a greener, cleaner place.
Last year’s winners received their awards in January from former Town Council chair Councillor Simon Dowling.
Cllr Dowling said of the awards: “One of the many joys of the town council is that we have an awards scheme which was rebranded last year to the Heart of Horsforth Awards.
“The whole aim of the awards is to recognise the contribution that members of the community make to our community and further afield as well.”
This year’s awards will be presented at the Christmas Lights switch on which will be held on Saturday 6th December and the winners will be decided by the Community and Environment Committee of the Town Council.
“Horsforth Town Council knows that it is important to recognise the hard work and successes of local people making a difference for Horsforth.
“We welcome applications to recognise those who have gone above and beyond.
“Whatever their story Horsforth Town Council would like to hear from you. This is a great opportunity to acknowledge and highlight the achievements of Horsforth residents.”
Nominations are welcome from members of the public and whilst the nominee must live, work, study or contribute to Horsforth nominations are welcome from all walks of life and sections of the community.
The closing date for nominations is noon on 1 September 2025 and you can nominate via the Town Council website or by obtaining a form from the Town Council office or via email.
