Nominations open for Sussex Sport and Physical Activity Awards

The annual awards – run by Active Sussex – spotlight the individuals, clubs and organisations contributing to sport and physical activity across the county.

They celebrate the people who help Sussex move more, feel better and thrive, from inclusive community programmes and dedicated volunteers to innovative projects improving health, wellbeing and access to activity for all.

This year’s categories highlight the breadth of impact across the sector, recognising achievements in coaching, community engagement, youth leadership, active workplaces, disability inclusion and more.

“We know there are incredible people across Sussex working tirelessly to make sport and physical activity welcoming, inclusive and life changing,” said Ed Bartram, events organiser at Active Sussex.

“These awards are our chance to celebrate their impact and tell the stories that inspire others.”

Active Sussex is encouraging communities, partners and networks across the county to help spread the word by sharing the opportunity and tagging individuals or organisations who deserve recognition.

The Sussex Sport & Physical Activity Awards ceremony will take place on Thursday, November 26 at the County Cricket Ground in Hove, bringing together partners, leaders and community champions from across Sussex to celebrate the achievements of our vibrant sport and physical activity sector.

Nominations close at 1pm on Monday, October 19, 2026.
