Wonderful Villages Awards

Win £1,000 for your village hall!

The incredible contribution of village, church and community halls throughout rural Britain and those who work tirelessly to support their local community often goes unrecognised and unrewarded. That is, until now!

This year in 2022, Allied Westminster – the home of VillageGuard, the UK’s most popular Village Hall insurance – has teamed up with The Village Halls Podcast to launch THE WONDERFUL VILLAGES AWARDS. The Awards feature five different categories (see below) each of which will lead to a hall winning £1,000. So that is a total prize fund of £5,000 up for grabs!

The five categories are:

UNSUNG HERO OR HEROES AWARD
YOUNG PERSONS AWARD
PROJECT OF THE YEAR
INNOVATION AWARD
INSPIRATIONAL STORY AWARD

You can find out more information by clicking on each of the categories above. You can print and share these pdf documents.

If you would like to raise awareness of The Wonderful Villages Awards in your village, or beyond, please help yourself to an easily printable single sheet pdf with summary information, here.

These Awards are open to any village, church or community hall in the United Kingdom and are focused entirely on rural communities. There is no limit on the number of entries from each Hall and multiple categories may also be entered. For the rules around entering, please click here.
