Our city is rich in history, culture, and stunning architecture, but what truly makes it exceptional is its community - the dedicated individuals who go above and beyond to support, uplift, and inspire those around them.

The Bath Echo Community Awards have been created to recognise these unsung heroes - the volunteers who give their time selflessly, the charities that change lives, and the community groups that bring people together.

Whether it’s through acts of kindness, tireless campaigning, or innovative projects, each of our nominees will have made a meaningful impact on our city.

In a world where challenges can often seem overwhelming, these individuals remind us that positive change begins at a local level. Their efforts strengthen our neighbourhoods, provide support to those in need, and create a sense of belonging that defines our community spirit.

We're seeking nominations for seven different categories, created to celebrate the most deserving individuals and community groups. Whether it's a charity that has supported you or your family, a young person in your family who has gone above and beyond to give back to the community or a carer who has made such a difference to a person you know, we want to hear from you.

Our winners will be invited to an awards reception in central Bath on Thursday 24th July, where they will receive their trophy. They will also receive a prize of up to £500, as well as extra gifts thanks to our generous sponsors!

Nominations are now open, and you've only got until Tuesday 1st July to submit them.

Once we receive all the nominations, a shortlist will be created and public voting opened to select our winners.
