It also recognises personal achievements in learning new work or vocational skills, exploring different job options, or taking positive steps towards future volunteering or employment.
The Sport Award
This award celebrates someone who takes part in a sport in a way that is meaningful to them. This award recognises personal achievements, progress, and the steps the people we support take towards their own goals - no matter how big or small. This could include trying a new sport, building confidence and developing new skills, joining a club or group, or working towards something special like a certificate, progressing a grade or level, or taking part in an event.

The See Me Award
This award celebrates someone who is an active and positive member of the communities that they are apart of. This category recognises the many different ways that someone can contribute to their community, like taking part in community groups and activities, helping to improve their local area, or building connections with their neighbours and the people around them.
The Hear Me Award
This award celebrates someone who has advocated for something that is important to them. The award recognises the importance of expressing your feelings and needs, sharing your views, and advocating for yourself and others, and the positive changes that can happen as a result.
The Independence Award

The Green Award

The award recognises the positive steps someone takes to be more eco-friendly, whether that be at home, in the community, or through outdoor projects. This could include recycling, gardening, growing fruit and vegetables, reducing waste, or taking part in activities in nature.
The Outstanding Award
The people we support are all inspiring, and when there is so much to celebrate and be proud of, it can be difficult to fit their achievements into a single category.
If you can’t find a category that fits your nomination, this award recognises the unique and special things that we’d like to celebrate about the people we support. Tell us why you think the person you support should win an award.
