Celebrating what makes our community great!
Horfield and Lockleaze is bursting with people who make it a great place to live. Whether it is friendly shop-staff, the teachers who inspire, the neighbours who take our parcels, cut our grass and cheer us up; the group leaders for scouts, sports and sewing groups, and so many more people who freely give their time and energy to make Horfield and Lockleaze a better place to live. We want to celebrate and share some of the stories from our community, and we need you to nominate the people you are thankful for, and share with everyone how great they are.
2019 Awards
Before the summer, we asked you, the people, to nominate organisations, groups and individuals for awards. The nominations were then shortlisted by a panel of local residents and workers who voted for their top three and for their overall winner in a secret ballot.
All those who were shortlisted were invited to attend an awards celebration evening on September 20th, held at Ebenezer Church, where the nominations were shared, winners announced and everyone was celebrated.
