Nominations are now open for the 2016 Community Sport and Recreation Awards, the Sport and Recreation Alliance announced today. The Awards have been running for over 20 years to celebrate the excellent work conducted by sport and recreation organisations in local communities. The English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) is promoting the opportunity to those who support disabled people to be active.

EFDS is encouraging clubs, programmes and initiatives connected to our charity to enter one or more of the five award categories. These highlight the breadth of work undertaken by the grassroots sport and recreation sector. This year the categories are:

  • Professional Club Community Programme of the Year in association with the Professional Footballers Association
  • Social Impact in association with Hiscox
  • 2016 Overall Winner

The Awards are free to enter and each winner will receive a financial prize, with the 2016 Overall Winner set to receive £2,500. The Awards ceremony will be held on Thursday 14 July and presented by HRH Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex.

The closing date for nominations is Friday 29 April 2016.
