Do you know someone who’s making a real difference through sport or physical activity in Fylde?

The Fylde Community Sports Awards 2025 are your chance to shine a spotlight on our local heroes — the coaches, clubs, schools, and volunteers who go above and beyond to make sport happen in our communities.

Now in its 13th year, and proudly rebranded to reflect a stronger local identity, this event stands as the highest sporting honour in the borough of Fylde. With no onward regional competition, this is our moment to truly celebrate those who are making an impact right here, where it matters most.

Organised by Fylde Council’s Sports Development Team, the awards are open to all who live, work, or contribute within the borough. Whether it’s a young achiever, a club transforming lives, or a volunteer dedicating years to their sport — we want to hear about them.

🏆 The awards ceremony will take place in St Annes this November.

📅 Nominations are open from 4 September and will close on 2 October 2025.
