The Hinckley & Bosworth Local Sport and Health Alliance is calling for nominations to find its Active Champions for 2026. The annual awards aim to celebrate the hard work of those who encourage and facilitate sport and wellbeing across the borough.
The alliance is seeking nominations for mentors, leaders, volunteers, teams, and clubs that go 'above and beyond' in their efforts. This includes individuals who help others stay active, sports organisations supporting their local community, or individuals who have taken up new sports and encouraged their families to join.
Awards categories include the School Wellbeing Award, and community awards such as Coach of the Year, Sportsperson of the Year (including junior and disabled categories), Inclusivity Award, Sports Club of the Year, Volunteer of the Year (junior and adult), and Outstanding Contribution (Adult).
“"The aim of the awards is to recognise, promote and reward sporting and wellbeing achievements of clubs, teams and individuals across the borough. Whether it is someone you admire for their passion in sport, or someone who has inspired you, instilled great confidence in you or your child, or perhaps given up a lot of their free time to help in a sports club please take a minute and nominate them."
The deadline for nominations is Friday 18 December 2026. The Awards Evening will be held at Hinckley Rugby Club on Thursday 28 January 2027 at 7pm.
