Derby Voluntary Sector Awards

The Derby Voluntary Sector Awards is a yearly event that celebrates the city’s amazing voluntary and community sector. The event is brought to you by Community Action Derby with support from Derby Homes.

Once a year, the people of Derby are invited to nominate volunteers, community heroes and voluntary and community organisations that have made a positive difference to them, or to their community. Winners attend a glitzy award ceremony during Volunteers' Week (2-8 June) to receive their award.

Find out more about our past award events below. Nominations for 2026 will open in Spring.
