Awards Sponsored by
Welcome to the
PRIDE OF GWENT
awards 2023
The Pride of Gwent Awards are an opportunity to showcase the incredible people, groups and communities. These are our unsung heroes, who should be recognised for the amazing work that they do.
The awards allow the South Wales Argus along with our partners to showcase Gwent and the people that make the difference. Some have saved lives, some have cared for others and some have raised huge sums for charity or have made a real difference to their communities.
There are many categories, from Child of Courage Award to the Pride of Gwent Volunteer Award, so please nominate that person or group you know deserves to be recognised.
