Volunteers are the heart and soul of our community. Their selfless efforts make a significant impact, and it’s time to shine a spotlight on their dedication and hard work. By nominating a volunteer or group, you help us acknowledge their invaluable contributions and inspire others to join the cause. 

We believe every volunteer is a hero. Whether they are nominated or not, their contributions are invaluable and deeply appreciated. This award scheme is just one way to say “Thank You” for their unwavering commitment to making our community a better place.  

All shortlisted nominees will be invited to join us for an evening of recognition, inspiration, and community spirit at Poole Lighthouse on 27th March 2025.  

At the ceremony, we will showcase the finalists for each category with short videos that highlight their voluntary efforts and impact on our communities.  

Filming: We will contact shortlisted nominees for permission to film and to arrange times, dates and locations. Filming is likely to take place in the first 2 weeks of December
