Thank You for Your Pride of Reading Awards 2026 Nominations

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to submit a nomination for the Pride of Reading Awards 2026.

We have been delighted by the incredible response, with around 250 nominations received this year. The quality and range of nominations once again highlight the remarkable people, groups and organisations making a positive difference across Reading.

Judging will take place in August to consider all of the nominations. Those who are shortlisted will be contacted in early September and will receive an invitation to attend the Pride of Reading Awards Lunch in November, where this year’s winners will be announced.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who submitted a nomination. Your nominations help us celebrate the individuals and organisations whose dedication, kindness and achievements make Reading such a special place.

Thank you for helping us recognise the very best of our community, and good luck to all those who have been nominated.
