Wandsworth Council has opened nominations for its annual Moves Together Awards, which honour residents and groups making sport and physical activity more accessible across the borough. The awards aim to recognise efforts that improve health, community connections and local participation in physical activity.
The scheme includes ten categories, ranging from Volunteer of the Year to Active School of the Year. Other awards cover coaches, junior sportspeople, clubs and individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to sport or physical activity in Wandsworth. A special Mayor’s Award is also included.
