Welcome to the Community Pub Hero Awards 2025. The community pub awards, brought to you by PubAid – the positive voice for pubs, recognising the contribution that pubs make to their communities.
As the unsung heroes of the local community – our awards seek to recognise Pub’s across a range of categories from all over the UK. Our categories span the wide contribution that pubs make to their communities, from grass roots sport, fundraising, sustainability, community support and also the contribution that customers make, alongside their pub, to the community.
For three of the categories, we have individual entries for England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The awards are free to enter and finalists will be invited, with their MP, to the Awards Ceremony at the House of Commons on Tuesday 4 March 2025.
Recognising Licensees who help their communities.
Recognising licensees who help their communities. Many pubs offer vital support to their local communitie: delivering supplies or cooking hot meals for vulnerable residents, or keeping people connected through regular meals, quizzes or chats. If your pub is a ‘good neighbour’ to your local community, then this award is for you.
Recognising pubs who support charities and other good causes through fund raising
Recognising pubs who support charities and other good causes through fundraising. This can be through a collection tin on the bar, charity events ranging from quizzes or auctions through to fun days, or sponsored challenges by the licensee, team members or pub customers.
Recognising an individual or group of customers who help the pub to support the community
Recognising an individual or group of customers who help the pub’s fundraising efforts or its work to support the community. They often take on thankless tasks for little reward, so if you have a loyal regular who has helped your pub to help others locally, then nominate them for this award.
Recognising a pub that truly supports grassroots sport in its area or brings the community together via sporting events.
Pubs contribute over £40m each year to community sport. We want to hear about how your pub supports your sport in your community. From kit, to sponsorship to hosting events are you pub -we are looking for stand out examples to showcase the important role pubs play to the health and wellbeing of their community.
Recognising the efforts of a pub going above and beyond in terms of helping to protect the environment locally.
Are you a pub that cares about your environment and works hard to offer a sustainable solutions for your community. From pub gardens, community projects, rain water concepts and way more, we want to hear about the innovative ways you support your environment.
We also encourage local MPs to submit nominations. If your pub would like to raise awareness of your entry and seek a nomination from your MP, please use this MP finder to locate your local representative.
