The Pride of Reading Awards

Over the past 22 years hundreds of local people, groups, organisations and businesses have been recipients of a Pride of Reading Award. All winners honoured have made a dramatic impact within Reading, including local heroes, neighbourhood champions, charities, businesses and volunteers from communities across our town. 

This year’s awards recognised an inspiring collection of individuals and teams whose dedication, passion and commitment have made a lasting difference to the town.

From hospitality and education to grassroots sport, music, charity work, environmental awareness and community support, the winners demonstrate the very best of Reading.
