The Honours system recognises people who have made outstanding achievements in public life, made life better for people in the UK or are exceptional in what they do.

MHCLG is especially interested in receiving nominations for people who are working or volunteering in their community.

Particularly working with the homeless or in housing more widely, supporting community integration and interfaith work, or working in local government.

For example, in one of the following areas:  

• Getting Britain Building: individuals working on planning and on building the homes that we need, ensuring buildings are safe, and those tackling homelessness. 

• Bolstering Family Security: individuals working and volunteering to make their local communities resilient and safe for everyone, with people from different faiths and backgrounds able to integrate and contribute.  

• Local Government and English Devolution: Individuals delivering exceptional local public services for communities and leading innovation and reform in local government to improve the lives of people across the country.   

• Growth in every corner of the country: individuals working on growth, economic development and regeneration in every community. 

• Individuals working to resettle people displaced by international insecurity, for example those from Ukraine, Afghanistan and Hong Kong.
