The Annual Parish Award is made to an individual or group who have made a real and significant contribution to the life or environment of the Parish as a whole – not just one element or grouping within it.
Nominations are invited annually in the first few months of the year from residents of the parish. Full details of the Annual Parish Award criteria are in the nomination process, follow this link to visit our 2026 details.
The Council’s selection process will take place between Monday April 20th 2026 and Friday April 24th 2026, all matters relating to individuals will be discussed by the Council in complete confidence, and the Council’s decision is final.
