Nominations open for the Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Activity Awards 2022

The 2022 Sport & Physical Activity Awards will be held on 3rd November at the Engine Shed in Lincoln, and Active Lincolnshire are now inviting nominations for individuals, groups and organisations to be submitted online until midnight on Wednesday 31st August.

The annual awards celebrate the impact physical activity has on people’s lives in the county, as well as providing a chance to recognise individuals, volunteers, sports clubs, schools and communities who actively contribute to the health and wellbeing of Lincolnshire and use physical activity to support positive change.

To reflect the refreshed Let's Move Lincolnshire Strategy, several new categories have been introduced this year and include: The Uniting Lincolnshire Award, the Inclusion & Diversity Award, and the Health & Wellbeing Award, which recognises Active Lincolnshire’s commitment to ensuring everyone in Lincolnshire has the same access to opportunities to be active and provide an opportunity to showcase projects that are helping those groups of people facing the greatest barriers to participation.

Emma Tatlow, CEO of Active Lincolnshire said:

"The awards are an annual celebration of the fantastic work individuals, groups and organisations across the county are doing to support Lincolnshire residents to enjoy the benefits of being active, as well as shining a light on the inspirational personal achievements of people using sport and activity to transform their own lives.

"At each year’s awards we hear so many fantastic and inspiring stories of individuals, groups and organisations who have gone above and beyond to help keep people in Lincolnshire moving, and we can’t wait to read through the nominations for this year’s awards.”
