Gedling Borough Council hosts 2026 Pride of Gedling Awards

Gedling Borough Council hosted the 2026 Pride of Gedling Awards in association with The Wilkins Group to honor local champions, InYourArea reported. Presenter Gareth Evans hosted the annual ceremony, which celebrated individuals, groups, and organizations that created a lasting positive impact across the community. InYourArea noted that the event received more than 180 nominations across six distinct award categories. [1]

According to InYourArea, the Business in the Community Award was sponsored by Nottinghamshire County Council and presented to The Gedling Inn. The establishment is run by Beccy, who was recognized as an advocate for her local community who consistently supports local groups and provides free meals. [1]

Gedling is a local government district with borough status located in Nottinghamshire, England, with its council based in Arnold. The borough encompasses Carlton and Netherfield alongside various rural villages to the north-east of Nottingham, with its primary built-up area forming part of the Nottingham Urban Area. [4]

The celebration of local service aligns with broader national recognition initiatives. As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, the annual Pride of Britain Awards have honored acts of courage since May 1999, including teenager Zac Howells receiving the Child of Courage award. Additionally, as HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, Cheshire East recently celebrated local contributions to health and sports when more than 150 guests attended the 2026 Everybody Awards hosted by Mark Foster at Cranage Estate.
