“The Clare Foundation are delighted to be sponsoring the Proud of Bucks Awards for the second year running. We are really pleased to be able to congratulate those who have gone above and beyond helping those in need in their local community. We look forward to hearing all the amazing stories from the individuals and groups who have made an impact.”

A message from Steve Bowles, Cabinet Member for Communities

“The Proud of Bucks Awards is a fantastic way to celebrate all those who have gone above and beyond in their local community. By working closely this year with the Community Boards, we can use a more locally-driven approach to recognise and praise adults, young people and groups within Buckinghamshire’s amazing communities. Whether you have directly benefited from an initiative in your local area or you know someone who has wowed you with their efforts, enthusiasm and innovation, we want to hear from you”

A message from Angela Macpherson, Deputy Leader of Buckinghamshire Council.

“Last year the awards focused on the community contribution in response to the pandemic. This year we’re broadening the nominations to shine a light on anyone who has contributed to or has had a positive impact in their local area, and we know there’s plenty of deserving winners in Buckinghamshire.”
