Flourish Awards 2024

Nominations are now closed for the Flourish Awards 2024  

Thanks to everyone who nominated an organisation, team, project or individual who is making an outstanding contribution to enabling children and young people in Norfolk to Flourish.

The Flourish Awards 2024 will build on the success of our first ever Flourish Awards in 2023. We will recognise the most outstanding contributions made towards enabling children and young people to live their best lives in the county.   

The awards are open to anyone working for and with Norfolk's young residents and their families, from businesses to voluntary sector groups and statutory organisations.  

Entries will be judged by a panel of Norfolk young people and parents. The awards will be presented at a ceremony in September 2024. Award winners will receive a plaque and certificate. They will also receive digital resources they can use to showcase their outstanding contribution to supporting Norfolk's children and young people to flourish.
