Now in their ninth year, the awards will recognise the achievements and dedication of local sports people, volunteers and coaches who are either residents or are active in sports in Bath and North East Somerset.

“Bath & North East Somerset Council is committed to help everyone have the opportunity to participate in sports and enjoy a healthy lifestyle.

“We hope that anyone who has been inspired by the devotion of others towards sporting activities in their community will put their name forward and give them the recognition that they deserve.”

Building on the Olympic, Paralympic and Special Olympic Legacy, the Council hopes to see membership increase at a range of sporting clubs and organisations as demand rises for physical activities which offer health and wellbeing benefits.
