Every day across Islington, people who care about their local community make a positive and selfless contribution to the lives of others. This has been particularly true during this exceptional and challenging year. These actions often go unrewarded, but we want to hear about anybody you think deserves recognition for their unique contribution to life in Islington.

Nominations for the Mayor’s Civic Awards and the Ben Kinsella Award are now open. The Mayor’s Civic Awards recognise groups or individuals who have made a major and unique contribution to life in Islington, and the Ben Kinsella Award is a special youth award to celebrate a young person whose positive actions have made their mark on the local community.

Get nominating on the council website! The closing date is Friday 19 February 2021 and the Civic Awards Ceremony, which may be virtual, will be held on Thursday 22 April 2021 at 7pm.
