Wales Safer Communities Awards 2024 are now open for nominations

Across Wales Community Safety Partnerships and other partners are working individually and together so that everyone in Wales feels safe and free from the fear of exploitation, crime and disorder. This work is often carried out quietly and by a small number of people who have a passion for making a difference to individuals, families and communities.

The Safer Communities Awards are being held to recognise outstanding contributions to community safety in a multi-agency context, celebrating those who have had a real impact on people’s lives throughout the year.

There are fourteen awards categories in the following areas:

  • Anti-Social Behaviour
  • Crime Prevention
  • Early Intervention
  • Equalities, Inclusion and Cohesion
  • Governance
  • Modern Slavery and Exploitation
  • Offending and Justice
  • Organised Crime
  • Partnerships
  • Public Safety
  • Safeguarding
  • Serious Violence
  • Terrorism and Extremism
  • Violence Against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence

Entries to the awards can be self-nominated or nominated by a third party. Nominations are welcome of any individual, organisation or project working in Wales, whether paid or unpaid from public, private or the third sector – charities, voluntary groups and community groups.

You can submit your nominations by downloading the form here and returning it to safercommunities@wlga.gov.uk.

Nominations close at 5pm on Friday 11 October.
