Shine a spotlight on rugby’s unsung heroes in the Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards
Nominations are now open for the Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards 2025 to celebrate and thank the people who make rugby happen.
The Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards provide the opportunity to recognise the incredible achievements and contributions of the inspiring people at your club, referee society or organisation.
Last year over 2,000 volunteers were recognised at local events across England, before 43 finalists were celebrated at a national awards ceremony held at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.
So whether you want to put forward an individual or a group of volunteers, why not nominate today?

Unsung Hero: For those volunteers who go above and beyond, often unnoticed, to make rugby happen and improve the experience for everyone involved.
