Nominations are open to find local individuals, groups and businesses who give their time and commitment to help others in the borough. The Mayor’s Volunteer Awards, run by Reigate & Banstead Borough Council and Voluntary Action Reigate and Banstead, celebrate the unsung heroes who do a great amount of valuable work for the borough and its community and to show appreciation for their selfless service. 

The awards aim to recognise the commitment and say ‘thank you’ from the local community. If you know someone who gives up their time and energy to help others, please nominate or vote for them.

Award categories

Nominations are split into six categories: 

• individual volunteer (aged over 25 years)
• young volunteer (up to 25 years)
• volunteer team
• trustee (individual)
• trustee team
• business award.
