Nominate individuals or groups for the Milton Keynes Mayor's Awards 2025.
The Mayor of Milton Keynes, Councillor Marie Bradburn is calling on residents to nominate individuals or groups that have made an impact in our community for the Milton Keynes Mayor's Awards 2025.
“Over the last 6 months as Mayor, I’ve had the privilege of meeting so many inspiring individuals and groups who work tirelessly to support our community, often without seeking recognition.
So, I’m calling on the community to help celebrate these unsung heroes by nominating them for this year’s Mayor's Awards. Let’s shine a light on the individuals and organisations who dedicate themselves to making a difference for the city of Milton Keynes.
Submit your nominations today and give them the recognition they truly deserve!”
We are delighted to be hosting the Mayor's Awards on Friday 4 April 2025 from 19.00 during the Mayor's Civic Reception and hope that nominees will pencil this date in their diary, as we’ll be inviting the winner and two runners up from each category to attend along with a guest each.
This year I am also delighted to officially open up nominations to youth individuals (school years 7 to 13) for the same categories and will be inviting winners along with up to two guests (one of which to be a parent or guardian) for a small gathering in the Mayor’s Parlour on Thursday 13 or Friday 14 March 2025 at 16.00 – 17.00 to celebrate their success”
