Lambeth Council invites you to nominate your local heroes for a Civic Award. The awards aim to recognise the incredible work that Lambeth’s community does to help others.
Nominations for all seven of the awards categories of awards opened on 18 December and close at midnight on 25 January 2026. Once the application deadline is closed, all entries will be considered for shortlisting by a panel of community partners and Lambeth Council Leaders.
Anyone can nominate a resident, an individual, a community group, an organisation or a charity that lives, works, or operates in Lambeth for any of the awards, if they meet the Award criteria.
Word from the Cabinet
Cllr Claire Holland, Leader of the Council, said: “It’s no secret that it’s Lambeth’s people who make our borough the special place it is. The Civic Awards are one of the highlights of the year – as we get to thank so many incredible people and celebrate all they have achieved.
“Nominations are now open, so please do nominate so we can show our appreciation. We all know a person, group or organisation working in our vibrant business community or our committed voluntary sector who makes a real difference through their time, work, or passion for helping others.”
“Make sure to get your nominations in by 25 January 2026 so people get the recognition they deserve. I cannot wait to see the nominations and celebrate people’s amazing work at the Civic Awards ceremony in March.”
