Charnwood Sports Awards - Finalists revealed

The awards, organised by Charnwood Borough Council’s Sport and Recreation team, Active Charnwood and the Active Charnwood Alliance, received 82 entries into this year’s competition.

The Charnwood Sports Awards highlight the work and dedication of individuals, clubs, coaches and volunteers across the borough.

They also highlight schools and workplaces making a difference to health and wellbeing.

The awards ceremony takes place on Monday December 5 at Burleigh Court in Loughborough. The last time the awards took place was in 2019 before the pandemic. 

Cllr Leigh Harper Davies, the Council’s lead member for communities, said: “It is fantastic to see so many entries and it was extremely difficult to narrow them down.

“This year’s awards will see us concentrate more on those who make a difference to health and wellbeing which is vitally important.
