Lord Mayor’s Awards 2026

It’s time to get your nominations in for the 2026 Lord Mayor’s Award, which will see unsung heroes from the Canterbury district celebrated for their selfless dedication to helping others.

There are no age limits and nominations are welcome from all walks of life.

Nominees must live, work, study or volunteer in Canterbury, Herne Bay, Whitstable or a village in the district, but you don’t have to live in the district to nominate.

The deadline to put someone forward is Wednesday 30 October.

Entries will be judged by the Lord Mayor of Canterbury, Cllr Alister Brady, and a representative from each of the political groups at the city council. The awards will be presented at a ceremony early next year.

You can nominate online, or hard copy forms are available by calling the Lord Mayor’s office on 01227 862080 or by emailing lordmayor@canterbury.gov.uk
