Loughton Citizenship Awards

Do you know someone worthy of recognition for their community work or bravery?

Nominations are invited for the 2026 Loughton Citizenship Awards.

We are looking to celebrate those special individuals in our town who go the extra mile for their fellow citizens. This may be through long service for a voluntary organisation or local charity, good neighbourliness, running a campaign to improve community facilities or cohesion, or by an act of courage or bravery.

Any Loughton resident or a Loughton employer, educational institution, group or society may submit a nomination but please do not let the nominee know at this stage.

The closing date for nominations is 31 January 2026.

There are three categories:

Acts of courage or bravery in the year in question that have resulted, for instance, in the prevention of a serious crime or the rescue of individuals from danger.

Voluntary Service

(i) for people aged 25 or over

(ii) for people under 25 years of age

For each category, winners will be presented with a silver bowl, an illuminated scroll and a cheque for £250 made payable to their favourite local charity.
