Didcot Town Council Awards

"Thank you." Two simple words that make a big difference.

Every year the Didcot Town Council holds an Awards Evening to say thank you to the people of Didcot who go that extra mile for the community.

We're asking people to nominate Didcot-based groups or individuals who have given their time and helped improve the environment of our town.

The awards evening commences with entertainment, the Community Awards and the Allotment Awards.

The final award of the evening is the John Eldridge Award for Voluntary service. This award was donated by Mrs Jean Eldridge following her husband's death whilst serving as Deputy Mayor of Didcot in 1992. It was felt appropriate to found an award in his name to recognise voluntary work undertaken in Didcot.

After all the awards have been given out a buffet is available for those who want to stay.

If you would like to nominate somebody for the 2019 awards either complete the online form (at the bottom of this page) or complete a paper form.

Closing date for nominations is 25th September 2019.

This event is by ticket only.

The Categories are:

Didcot Artistic Award – for those people who have made a contribution to artistic or cultural projects in Didcot.

Sporting Achievement Award – for those people who have made a significant contribution to sport

Service with a Smile – for those people who take pride in their work and make our days better when we see them
