Finalists Announced for the Lincolnshire Sport & Physical Activity Awards 2025

The annual awards shine a spotlight on the transformative impact of sport and physical activity across the county. For over two decades, these awards have celebrated the positive difference that being active makes to people’s lives. They honour those who are dedicated to supporting health and wellbeing across the county and helping residents move more, more often.

This year 27 finalists have been selected across nine categories by an independent panel of judges. The finalists represent the very best of Lincolnshire’s individuals, volunteers, schools, clubs, communities and organisations making a positive difference through sport and physical activity.

The 2025 finalists can be viewed here.

This year’s nominations showcase an inspiring variety of projects, achievements and personal stories, from individuals using sport and physical activity to transform their own lives, to clubs and organisations dedicated to opening up more opportunities to be active across the county. The judges were once again struck by the passion, innovation and commitment that exists across Lincolnshire, helping make physical activity accessible to all.

This year Active Lincolnshire is introducing a new People's Choice Award which will allow individuals to cast their vote for their favourite finalists. The finalist with the most votes will be crowned the People's Choice Award winner at the awards ceremony. Voting for this award will open later this month.

Emma Tatlow, CEO of Active Lincolnshire, said:

“Every year we are humbled by the strength and quality of the nominations, and 2025 has been no exception. The stories we’ve received demonstrate the incredible dedication of people across the county to support and inspire others to be active. These awards provide a chance to celebrate the impact of individuals, clubs, groups and organisations whose work is changing lives through sport and physical activity.

 

“Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate, and congratulations to all of our finalists – we're really looking forward to celebrating with you in November.”

Finalists will be celebrated and winners revealed at a sparkling awards ceremony taking place on Thursday 6th November 2025 at the Engine Shed in Lincoln. It promises to be another inspirational evening, recognising and celebrating the outstanding contribution of so many across the county. Finalists will each receive two tickets to the event, and a limited number of tickets will go on sale ahead of the event.
