Pride of Stevenage Awards
We all know people and organisations who have done their bit to help make Stevenage a great place to be. We want to reward them. Their stories show what we can achieve when people get together to make life better.
These awards are your chance to recognise and celebrate their work.
The six winners will be invited to the Mayor’s civic reception in October to receive their special award. Each winner will also receive a generous prize of £500 from our sponsors:
