Community Project of the Year 2024

Regional Volunteer Awards 2023 - Community Project of the Year

This award provides affiliated clubs, RunTogether groups and associated partners a platform to highlight the projects they have put in place that benefit the community.

This could be a project targeted at a specific audience, a project that has raised funds for a local charity, supported deprived individuals or engaged with different sectors of the community. This award is more than athletics and running – it is about how projects linked to athletics and running have had a positive impact on the community.

Community Project of the Year will have a live vote for 2024! After the regional panel have worked through nominations, the top nominations in both of these categories will go on the England Athletics website for a LIVE vote. Further details will be updated nearer the time.

Would you rather speak than type?

If writing isn't your strength, this year you can also use speech-to-text that converts your spoken words into words on the form.

Install the free Voice In speech-to-text extension on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. This will add a microphone icon on your toolbar and you just click into the relevant part of the form to fill in, click the microphone, and speak your answer. It will automatically type in.

Do you want to enhance your nomination?

You can send 75 seconds of video to accompany the nomination form to awards@englandathletics.org. Make sure the file is named for the award and person, and filmed in landscape.
