About the Awards
Every year we celebrate the amazing work being done by councillors at our awards ceremony. Guests in previous years have told us how much they enjoy the light-hearted tone of the evening, so we’ll be doing the same this time around. We are upping the scale this year – there will be over 200 councillors from across the country joining for an evening of celebration and networking. It will be a standing reception, with food and drink provided, and the dress code is smart but not black tie. Tickets will be free of charge.
