Nominations for the Slough Youth Awards 2026 are open.
Do you know / work with a young person or youth group in Slough who deserves recognition?
Maybe they’ve shown resilience through challenges, inspired others through sport, achieved their goals or expressed their talents through music. Now’s the time to celebrate them!
The Slough Youth Awards started over 10 years ago by our very first Slough Youth Parliament. It was created to highlight the great things our youth do locally and ensure a positive spotlight was put on those who overcome and contribute.
The Awards will take place on Friday 27 November 2026 at Lynch Hill Academy, with a special celebration evening including live performances, food, networking and the announcement of this year’s winners and runners-up.
Nominations are open to young people aged 11–19, and up to 25 for young people with SEND or care leavers, across the following categories:
- Making a Difference Award
- Creative Award
- Sport and Activity Award
- Resilience Award
- Green Award
- Being Ambitious Award
The deadline to nominate is 9 November.
