Wards Children’s Awards, organised by Wards of Kent Estate Agent, returns for 2025
Determined, brave and inspiring youngsters are being sought for awards which recognise the most courageous children in our county.
For more than 20 years Wards Children’s Awards has celebrated the admirable efforts of a very special group of children - together with those of the adults, carers and charities that support them.
The awards are back for another year and nominations are now open for all categories.
From recognition for brave and courageous babies, toddlers, children and teens through to exceptional young carers and fundraisers – we want to shed light on the efforts of them all.
Alongside this, organisers of the annual awards also want to showcase the essential work being undertaken by Kent’s incredible charities up and down the county as well as the grit and determination being shown by families who are having to cope with a severe illness or disability alongside the pressures of day-to-day life.
Also returning for another year is a relatively new category first introduced in 2024 – Young Hero of the Year – which is searching for young nominees who have been brave in the face of adversity and showed real heroism.
The Children's Awards, organised by estate agents Wards, are once again supported by the KM Media Group and the Kent Community Foundation.
If you know someone deserving of an accolade - who might fit the bill in one of our six categories - we'd like you to tell us about them as soon as possible.
Entering is quick and easy and can be done online in minutes by clicking here
The closing date for nominations is Friday, May 9.
Nominations can be put forward by family members, friends, neighbours and schools as well as outside groups, clubs, teachers or sports coaches.
Simply visit the website and tell us about someone special that you know and our organising committee and judging panel will do the rest.
What’s more - all of our finalists will be invited to an exceptionally special gala lunch in the autumn, that will once again be hosted by Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins and include a special appearance from Mister Maker.
