One Voice Wales Awards 2025
One Voice Wales will be holding its National Awards on Wednesday 30 April 2025 at Hafod a Hendre, Royal Welsh Showground, Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, LD2 3SY. These awards are an opportunity for each Council to showcase the services it provides for its community, and an opportunity for Councillors, Clerks and staff to receive the recognition they deserve.
We are very happy to announce that this year’s Main Sponsors will be Unity Bank Trust, we are extremely grateful for their support and enthusiasm.
The entries will be used as an evidence base to inform Welsh Government, Unitary Authorities, the Third Sector and other key partners of the good work Councils are doing in their communities across Wales and how they can possibly support the work of the local council sector in the future.
Here is a Nomination Guide 2025 listing the award categories and details of how you can nominate your council for these prestigious awards, together with an Application Form.
An independent panel made up from national representative bodies will undertake the judging of the entries. There will be a shortlist of nominations in each of the categories; each of the shortlisted Councils for each category will be invited to take part in showcasing their Council’s initiative.
During the Awards Ceremony, the winners and runners-up will be presented with their awards and certificates. One Voice Wales will also be publishing a post-event report to be shared with local councils and stakeholder organisations throughout Wales.
