We are excited to announce that nominations are open for our 2025 Portsmouth Inspiring Volunteer Awards. This year’s event will be bigger and better than ever before, and we are delighted that The Kings Theatre have kindly offered to host the award ceremony this year. This event is one of a kind and celebrates the amazing and essential work that volunteers do every day in the City of Portsmouth.
We fully appreciate the importance and impact that volunteers make and can’t wait to recognise the work that they have done this year. There are so many brilliant volunteers in Portsmouth quietly making an enormous difference, this is our chance to recognise and thank them for all that they do. This is also an opportunity to celebrate many of the phenomenal organisations and charities in Portsmouth, the work that they do and the difference that they make.
We would love to hear all about the incredible volunteers you have working in your organisations and would be delighted to receive nominations from you. All nominees will receive a certificate to mark and acknowledge the important work that they do. Volunteers who are short listed to receive an award will be invited along to the awards night (along with their nominee) which will be held later in the year. This will be an uplifting celebration to mark the immeasurable contribution Portsmouth’s volunteers are making every day.
We would like to invite you to use the online form https://forms.office.com/e/eizG4HDM9k to nominate that special individual, group, or organisation that has made a difference to your life or the lives of others by volunteering. If you have any questions please email volunteering@hiveportsmouth.org.uk to request this.
We have the following awards categories:

Nominations close at midday on Wednesday 12th May 2025.
We are so looking forward to receiving your nominations, please provide as much information as you can about the role the volunteer carries out, and how this positively impacts the community. You can nominate more than one person / group, but each one will need their own form submitted.
All nominees will receive a Certificate to recognise their important contribution, those shortlisted will be invited to the awards presentation (details of which will be provided nearer the time).
Please do contact us with any questions, we will be happy to help.
