Nominations open for Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards 2023

Nominations for the Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards 2023 are now open.

The Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards celebrate the vital role that volunteers play and recognises the local heroes who have had a major impact in their clubs and communities over the past 12 months. It offers an opportunity to thank those who have gone above and beyond this year for teams, clubs, referees societies and educational establishments.

This year’s Awards will help to recognise and celebrate volunteers for their achievements and efforts, both on and off the field, with the opportunity to nominate either an individual or a group of volunteers.

There are three categories to choose from to reflect the many ways that volunteers have supported the game over the last year:

  • Game for All
  • Unsung Hero
  • Challenging Spirit

Last year winners were selected from over 1,200 nominations, but this year Honda and the RFU aim to surpass that figure to help recognise the effort of even more volunteers from across England who support the game.
