Crawley Community Awards

Nominations are now open for the 2024 Crawley Community Awards

Nominations are invited for teams and individuals across sixteen different categories, representing everything from volunteering and charities through to education and sports. Nominators do not need to live in the Crawley District but nominees must either live, work, volunteer or study within the borough or provide a service open to Crawley residents outside the immediate area. Visit the nominations tab to make your nomination..

The Crawley Community Awards are organised by Crawley Borough Council in association with The Hawth and The Crawley Observer and supported by Headline Sponsor London Gatwick Airport and our business sponsors. The awards recognise and reward people who live, work, volunteer or study in the Crawley Borough who give up their time, talents and skills to help and support others in their community and those who have trained, worked and put all their efforts into making real achievements.

Now in their ninth year, the Crawley Community Awards are hugely popular, attracting hundreds of nominations each year. This is a clear reflection of the wonderful community spirit that exists in Crawley and the appreciation that local people have for those who go the extra mile to make a difference in their community.

Over the past eight years, more than 3400 nominations have been received and 165 individuals and groups have received awards in recognition of their work in the Crawley Community.
