AWARDS

2023 will see the second running of our Older Person’s Awards Wales. We want to celebrate the achievements of older people in communities across Wales in categories including Later Life Hero, Ageing Well and Good Neighbour.

 

Nominations will be sought from people throughout Wales with 6 regional winners in 5 categories going forward to the awards night. The final decision will be made by an independent judging panel with each winner receiving a prize and trophy.

 

Nominations will open in January and the winners will be announced in march 2023 during a streamed one-hour award event hosted by a very famous face! The nomination process and awards ceremony will be extensively promoted across Wales to raise awareness of the amazing contribution made to society by older people.
