Do you know a business, organisation, or individual who has made a difference through charity fundraising? We are not purely looking for the charity that has made the most money but made a difference in the community. It could be a charity in Medway or an individual who has taken their time to raise money to support a charity, your nomination counts.
Is there someone in the community who has made a significant impact and deserves recognition?
We want to celebrate those who truly enrich the Medway community. This category is for anyone who has made a difference by organising events, supporting those in need, or helping to keep Medway at its best.
Nominate an exceptional individual today.
Courage reveals itself in so many ways – from stepping in to help someone in need to showing others how to face up to challenges that life throws our way. There’s never a right or wrong way – it’s the way you choose and somehow make it through and out the other side.
The Pride in Medway Courage and Bravery Star is for those Medway heroes who show these qualities in everyday life without a second thought, who dig deep in a time of crisis, and who show strength, quick thinking, or bravery in the moments that matter.
If this sounds like you or someone you know, we want to hear your stories at the Pride in Medway Awards 2025.
