Nominations open for Mayor’s Citizenship Awards 2025
Nominations are now open for Bridgend County Borough Council’s Mayor’s Citizenship Awards 2025.
The awards are an annual opportunity to celebrate the achievements of individuals, groups and organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to life in Bridgend County Borough.
Previous winners include a community group that provides affordable bags of food for local residents, a volunteer from the RNLI who celebrated 50 years of service and a local man who dressed up as Spiderman whilst running the streets to raise money for good causes.
Nominees must live or work locally and have shown the kind of values that make Bridgend great. They might have:
- raised an outstanding amount for charity
- performed an act of great bravery
- regularly gone the extra mile for others
- put the local area on the map
- achieved something really special over the past 18 months
Mayor of Bridgend County Borough, Cllr Heather Griffiths, said: “It’s been a privilege to meet lots of inspirational people, organisations and community groups during my term so far and it’s clear that there are many deserving recipients throughout the county borough who should be celebrated for their efforts.
“I would like to encourage residents to make a nomination and shine a light on our unsung heroes and dedicated organisations who make a selfless contribution to the lives of others.”
