Newsquest launches South Wales Community Awards 2025
These awards celebrate the remarkable individuals, groups, and communities across South Wales who have made a significant impact. The event is run by Newsquest across our south Wales titles from the South Wales Argus in the east to the Western Telegraph in the west. The initiative acknowledges those who have saved lives, provided care, raised substantial amounts for charity, or made a genuine difference to their communities. Newsquest Wales regional editor Gavin Thompson said: "The awards allow us to recognise the people within our local communities who have made a real difference this year, with a wide variety of categories for every unsung hero." There are numerous categories, each highlighting different contributors to the community.

The drinks reception is being sponsored by Harvey Bowes. The categories for the awards include Best Independent Business of the Year, Health and Beauty Business of the Year, and Food and Drink Business of the Year (sponsored by Brains Brewery), among others. These categories aim to spotlight businesses, whether large or small, that have made a substantial impact. The Best Customer Service Award recognises businesses that go the extra mile to ensure client satisfaction. Community-focused awards include the Best Community Project or Group (sponsored by Certas Energy), Volunteer or Fundraiser of the Year, and Community Champion of the Year (sponsored by Tovey Bros). These categories aim to honour individuals and groups who have selflessly contributed to the betterment of their communities. In the realm of sports, the Sports Team or Club of the Year award (sponsored by Pallet Recycling South Wales) will celebrate teams that are thriving and making a difference in the community. The education sector will be recognised in the community awards (Image: NQ) The education sector will also be recognised with the School of the Year and Teacher of the Year awards, celebrating the hard work and dedication of educational institutions and professionals. Healthcare professionals and GP practices will not be left out, with awards dedicated to recognising their outstanding contribution to the community, with Healthcare Professional of the Year sponsored by Monmouthshire Freemasons. The STEM Project of the Year award, sponsored by Valero Pembroke Refinery, will highlight exceptional projects in science, technology, engineering, and maths. The awards will also acknowledge the Young Person of the Year, recognising an individual under the age of 18 who has achieved something inspirational. Each category will have a winner, with the overall Community Awards Winner 2025 selected from these. This initiative is a combination of Newsquest's previous South Wales School, Business, and Health Awards, aiming to create a comprehensive platform to celebrate all community heroes. Healthcare professionals will be recognised in the awards (Image: NQ) Nominations are now open, and the public can nominate individuals, groups, or businesses that they believe deserve recognition, by clicking here. Mr Thompson added: "There are many categories to choose from, so please nominate that person or group you know deserves to be recognised."

It is an opportunity to shine a light on those who work tirelessly and selflessly to make a difference.
