The Pride of Bracknell Forest Awards are back, with nominations currently open for its 2025 awards ceremony.

Celebrating its landmark 20th year, the awards continue to recognise the extraordinary contributions and accomplishments of individuals and organisations within the local community.

The event, a symbol of local pride, includes awards that stretch across various fields such as academia, business, sports, youth, and charity.

The grand ceremony will take place on April 25, 2025, at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

Last year's event saw a flood of nominations and an illustrious gala, where the likes of Sharon Bowden and Victoria Andrews were feted as gold and silver recipients respectively of the John Nike Pride of Bracknell Forest Adult’s Awards category.

This year, the organisers are eager to receive even more nominations before the February 21 deadline.

They emphasise the importance of recognising local heroes contributing to the Bracknell Forest community's vibrancy.
