From outstanding hospitality and inspirational childcare to inclusive sport, exceptional education, charitable giving, environmental action and a thriving music scene, this year’s Pride of Reading Awards have celebrated the people who make a real difference.
Behind every award is a story of dedication, generosity, courage and determination. Some have devoted decades to supporting the community, others have overcome extraordinary personal challenges, while many quietly give their time and energy to make life better for others.
Together, they represent the passion, kindness, ambition and community spirit that make Reading such a special place.
Congratulations to all the winners, nominees, volunteers, businesses and organisations who continue to make Reading proud.
