The Pride of Reading Awards

Welcome to the Pride of Reading Awards and this year our theme, of course, is celebrating our beautiful 20th anniversary of the Pride of Reading. Two decades of Reading’s finest folk showing their true colours.

Over the past 20 years there have been thousands of nominations and hundreds of Pride of Reading Award winners, with initiatives that make our town so great to live and work in. Join us this year in celebrating 20 years of community spirit, resilience and amazing achievements. From acts of kindness to groundbreaking projects, from inspiring heroism to the sterling efforts of volunteers, together we've built a legacy of compassion and progress. Whether you were born here, are a longtime resident, or new to our town, you're part of what makes Reading special.

And now it’s time to nominate all the new heroes who continue our community’s tradition of being there for each other. Join us over the months as we showcase your nominees' stories on social media and our media partners Reading Today, until the winners are revealed at the award’s lunch in October.

Here's to 20 years of making a difference and spreading joy. Welcome to the celebration.
