The 2026 Wandsworth Civic Awards are open for nominations, giving residents a chance to put forward the people whose work is often seen first by neighbours, community groups and local volunteers.
Wandsworth Borough Council says the winners will be honoured at a special ceremony in November. The exact ceremony date, start time and venue have not yet been confirmed in the source information, but the nomination deadline is fixed: entries close on 27 July 2026.

Six award categories for Wandsworth residents
The awards recognise individuals who have made what the council describes as a real and lasting difference in their communities. The 2026 categories cover everyday neighbourhood support, environmental work, cultural contribution, activity supporting local Wandsworth charities, bravery and youth leadership.
The six categories are Community Champion, Environmental Hero, Bravery Award, Charity Champion, Cultural Champion and Young Person of the Year.
That range means nominations are not limited to people with formal roles or public profiles. The source notice points to examples such as a neighbour who regularly goes further than expected, a volunteer improving local green spaces, or a young person encouraging others through their actions.
Residents can nominate someone they know, and the council says self-nominations are also allowed.
November ceremony follows a July nomination deadline
The ceremony itself is scheduled for November, when the selected winners are due to be honoured. For readers hoping to attend, the practical details are still limited: the council has not yet stated the venue, time, ticketing arrangements or whether general public attendance will be available.
The immediate action is therefore nomination-led. Anyone who wants a local resident, volunteer, young person or community figure to be considered must submit the nomination before 27 July 2026.
The Mayor of Wandsworth, Cllr Owens, said the awards celebrate people who represent “the very best of our borough”, adding that residents repeatedly step up to support others, strengthen communities and create positive change.
Businesses can also support the awards
Wandsworth Borough Council is also encouraging businesses in the borough to get involved by sponsoring the awards. The council says sponsorship offers a way to connect organisations with local stories while receiving borough-wide recognition and media coverage.
Category details and nomination information are available through the Civic Awards website, according to the council notice. Businesses seeking more information about sponsorship can contact eventscomms@wandsworth.gov.uk.
