The Neighbourhood Watch Volunteer Recognition Awards 2026 are now open for nominations, providing an opportunity to express gratitude to dedicated volunteers who make a significant difference in their communities.
These individuals devote their time, energy, and enthusiasm to preventing crime, supporting vulnerable residents, and organising community events. The awards aim to recognise those who have introduced innovative ideas, built partnerships, and improved life for those around them.
Last year, the awards received over 385 nominations, each showcasing a unique story of dedication, kindness, and community spirit. This year, the public is encouraged to nominate volunteers who have inspired them, supported their neighbourhood, or gone the extra mile to improve community life.
Eligible nominees include those who help people feel safer and more connected, introduce new ideas, organise community activities, support vulnerable residents, or are young people making a positive impact through volunteering.
