Honouring Our Local Heroes: Tenby Town Council Proudly Sponsors the Community Volunteer Award

The annual event which brings together residents, local groups and civic leaders shines a bright light on the unsung heroes whose everyday generosity, dedication and warmth make Tenby such a unique and caring place to live.

Celebrating the Heart of Tenby Volunteers form the backbone of town life across Tenby—from those maintaining public gardens and running activities to individuals leading local support groups, organizing heritage events and giving up their weekends for community projects.

By sponsoring the Community Volunteer Award, Tenby Town Council aims to publicly recognize and thank the extraordinary individuals who give their time selflessly to enrich the lives of others, asking for nothing in return.

Direct Action Driven by Community Spirit

The sponsorship reflects the council’s ongoing commitment to fostering civic pride and supporting grassroots initiatives across the town. Whether through funding community hubs, backing eco-friendly projects or partnering with local charities, the council continues to champion the power of local volunteering.

Mayor of Tenby noted:

"Kindness and volunteer spirit are at the absolute core of what makes Tenby so special. Behind almost every successful event, beautiful green space or support network in our town, there are dedicated volunteers working quietly behind the scenes. Tenby Town Council is immensely proud to sponsor the Community Volunteer Award on October 9th to say a proper, heartfelt 'thank you' to those who give so much to our community."
