Nominations Launched for the Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Activity Awards 2025

Active Lincolnshire is thrilled to announce that nominations are now open, for this year's Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Activity Awards! This is your chance to celebrate the remarkable people, clubs, schools, organisations and community groups who are making a real difference to our lives through sport and physical activity.   The popular annual awards, organised by Active Lincolnshire, recognise the dedication, passion and impact of those who are helping Lincolnshire residents be more active more often and live healthier and happier lives. They shine a light on inspiring stories that show how sport and physical activity can transform lives and strengthen communities.   It's free to enter and only take a few minutes. You can nominate individuals, yourself and organisations. All category finalists are invited to attend as our guests at the award ceremony in Lincoln. Sharing your story can help showcase the incredible impact of being active and inspire others to get involved.   Across the nine award categories, there’s the opportunity to celebrate a wide range of achievements and successes. Whether it’s a grassroots volunteer who always goes the extra mile, a club working hard to create inclusive opportunities, a dedicated coach inspiring the next generation, or an individual transforming their own life – this is great opportunity to recognise and thank a local champion!   Paul Chandler, Marketing and Communications Manager at Active Lincolnshire commented:

“We’re delighted to bring these community awards to Lincolnshire. We encourage the people of Lincolnshire to share their stories by making a nomination. The awards are a showcase for the positive impact that being active has on people lives, and to celebrate  the people whose passion, dedication and commitment, make sport and physical activity accessible, inclusive, and life changing."
