Volunteer Awards 2025!
At Community Links Bromley, we know how important it is to say ‘thank you’ to all the volunteers across the borough. Often, it’s the only reward volunteers are looking for.
The Volunteer Awards is an annual event where we celebrate and recognise our wonderful volunteering community here in Bromley. It is our opportunity to thank Bromley volunteers for the incredible contribution they make to their organisations, and the wider community.
This year, we will hold our 16th Annual Volunteer Awards Ceremony!

Want to thank a volunteer?
Would you like to thank a volunteer for the tasks that they undertake on your behalf? We can help you do so by featuring them in our Volunteer Spotlight article. This will appear in the Volunteering Update e-newsletter that goes out to local people who have indicated an interest in volunteering and it will appear in the Community Links Bromley e-news bulletin. We will also include it in our social media posts.
All you need is a photograph of the volunteer, a very small amount of detail about what the volunteer does, what they most enjoy about their volunteering and a few words about why you appreciate them.
