The Helpforce Champions Awards 2023 are the perfect opportunity to celebrate and share the amazing contributions made by volunteers and teams across the UK.

Together we can shine a light on those who give their time and talents to help staff, patients, families and carers when they need it most.

Anyone can nominate, patients who have had a positive experience, staff who want to reward a volunteer helping on their ward, a fellow volunteer, or a volunteer manager working with a particularly committed volunteer.

Finalists will be invited to a special awards ceremony in London, the Royal Airforce Club, on 13th October.

How to nominate:

Deadline for applications: 6pm on the 26th May 2023

2. We advise you to attach photos, videos, testimonials, and outcome evidence to support your nomination.

3. We will contact you by email to let you know if your nomination has been shortlisted. Unfortunately we will not be able to provide feedback to why individual nominations have not been shortlisted.
