Civic Awards Scheme
The Council is aware of the amazing work members of the public put into making Belper the great place it is.
Belper Town Council runs a civic award scheme to recognise outstanding achievments and contributions to the quality of life in our town.
Therefore, in recognition, of these efforts, the Council accepts nominations from the public for individuals or groups who go the extra mile.
The winners are invited to the annual Civic Service held in April each year where they are presented with their award and recognised by the Mayor of Belper for their contribution to the town.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
Nominations for recipients at the 2025 Civic Service closed on Friday 14th March at 5pm.
