Mid Sussex Applauds Awards are back!

Nominations are now open for the Mid Sussex Applauds Awards 2025. Organised by Mid Sussex District Council, this annual event celebrates the fantastic work carried out by individuals, groups and businesses across the district.

Cllr Anne-Marie Cooke, Cabinet Member for Communities and Communications, said: “We want to hear about all the unsung individuals and groups who play such an incredible role in our community. There are so many across the district who deserve a big thank you for everything they do. Now’s the chance to give them that recognition!”

Nominations for eight categories can be made until 7th March with the winners to be announced at a special awards ceremony in May.

The award categories for 2025 are - Volunteer of the Year, Community Project of the Year, Young Hero of the Year, Business in the Community, Community for All Award, Environment and Climate Champion, Community Hero of the Year and Lifetime Achievement Award.

The amazing achievements of last year’s winners included a lifetime’s dedication to improving the lives of those with dementia, setting up a new coffee lounge as a hub for community support, running a youth club that had served the community for over 22 years and a community driven initiative addressing the climate emergency.

We’d love to hear from you. Your nomination could be one of this year’s winners! To nominate, visit: www.midsussexapplauds.co.uk
