Call for Nominations: Honouring Droitwich Spa’s Unsung Heroes with the Edward Winslow Thanksgiving Awards 2025
Nominations are now open for the prestigious Winslow Thanksgiving Awards 2025, which recognise those who go above and beyond to serve our community. Help us celebrate the remarkable individuals and groups who make Droitwich Spa a better place to live, work, and grow.
These Winslow Thanksgiving Awards shine a spotlight on the volunteers, groups, and everyday heroes whose efforts often go unnoticed, but never unappreciated.
We are calling on Droitwich Spa residents, organisations, and community groups to submit nominations for the following categories:
- Winslow Community Champion (Individual Award)
Celebrating an individual who gives their time and energy freely, leading by example through their voluntary work in Droitwich Spa. This is someone whose dedication and spirit of service truly make a difference.
- Winslow Champions Award (Group) – For the Spirit of Giving & Charitable Enterprise
Recognising a voluntary group that embodies charitable giving and community spirit. These are the teams behind local initiatives that support, uplift, and enrich life in Droitwich Spa through their advocacy and generosity.
- Winslow Endeavour Award
This award honours an unsung hero – someone who works consistently and selflessly to support the people and causes of our town. Their impact is profound, even if their recognition has been limited, until now.
- Edward Winslow “Salt of the Earth” Award
Someone who has devoted years of service to the community. Through their steadfast giving of time and effort, they represent the very best of Droitwich Spa.
How to Nominate
If you know someone or a group who fits one of these descriptions, don’t let their efforts go unrecognised.
