Community / Southwark Faith & Belief Community Awards 2024

Programme Overview

PAGE IN PROGRESS

After a successful inaugural event in 2022, we are delighted to announce the return of the Southwark Faith & Belief Community Awards. As a partnership between the Faith & Belief Forum, Southwark Council and Southwark Multi Faith Forum, the Awards will spotlight and celebrate the contribution of unsung faith and community projects that work selflessly to foster understanding, unity and positive change in the borough of Southwark.

Across five categories, the Awards will celebrate the hard work of local groups in Southwark. Nominations are open between Friday 12 July and Sunday 11 August, allowing locals in Southwark to nominate the projects that have made a positive difference in their local area. 

The awards ceremony will be held on the evening of Thursday 26 September 2024 at Southwark Council’s main building, 106 Tooley Street. The ceremony will bring together community leaders, local organisations and residents, to celebrate and showcase winning and recognised projects. The evening promises to be a joyful and inspirational evening, with speeches, performances and a chance to meet others working for good in Southwark.

All the information on the categories, criteria, the award and how to nominate is on this website page. 

Do you know an amazing local initiative that deserves recognition? Nominate them for an award! 

Categories to be announced soon!

The Southwark Faith & Belief Community Awards celebrate work that is often overlooked and unsung. You may nominate your own work or that of others.

Nominated projects:

  • Must either be based in the borough of Southwark or deliver work that benefits people in the borough of Southwark
  • Must either be motivated by a certain faith or non-religious belief or deliver work that benefits people from marginalised or faith & belief communities. Nominations from secular or non-religiously affiliated organisations are welcome if they benefit people from marginalised or faith & belief communities
  • Can be run by a registered charity or a community group
  • Can be run entirely by volunteers or have paid staff
  • Can be a standalone project, or one initiative of a larger organisation
  • Cannot have previously received wider recognition, either at a regional or national level, including at an F&BF event. However, a different project by the same organisation can be nominated if it has not previously received wider recognition

For the full Faith & Belief Community Awards Terms, Conditions and Rules, click here.

The judging panel will base their decisions on the need for the project, the impact the project has in addressing that need, and exceptionality – which could be about innovation, uniqueness, sustainability or overcoming barriers to establish the project. Further guidance is provided on the nomination form.

Projects could increase a sense of belonging for overlooked or under-supported groups; increase life chances through engagement, education, and wellbeing; and impact communities or individual beneficiaries. Winners will have a track record of achieving aims, with transformative and lasting impact on beneficiaries.

Winning projects will receive:

  • A certificate
  • Automatic entry into the judging for the Faith & Belief Forum’s London Awards in November 2024
  • More prizes to be announced soon!

Nominations are open between Friday 12 July and Sunday 11 August. Check back here soon!
