Flourish Awards 2024
Nominations now open for the Flourish Awards 2024
These awards are for organisations, teams or projects making an outstanding contribution to enabling children and young people in Norfolk to Flourish. The awards are also open to amazing individuals.
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.
You can nominate your own organisation, team or project, or an individual, organisation, team or project you think deserves recognition for the amazing work they do. We want to hear about those who go above and beyond for Norfolk's children and young people in a wide range of areas including support, care, education, entertainment, training and employment.
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.
Use our form to tell us why you, or they, deserve an award. Nominations are open until 24 May 2024.
