MP urges people to nominate local heroes for Welsh national awards

Clwyd South MP Simon Baynes has called for people in his constituency to nominate candidates for the 2024 St David Awards. 

The awards celebrate those who give back to their communities, who are contributing towards civic life and ensuring Wales is a better place to live. They serve as the national awards for Wales. 

Members of the public can nominate people for nine different categories, which are:

  1. Business
  2. Bravery
  3. Community Spirit
  4. Critical Worker (Key Worker)
  5. Culture
  6. Environment
  7. Innovation, Science and Technology
  8. Sport
  9. Young Person

The deadline for nominations is October 19. 

Three finalists in each category will be announced by judges on February 22, with those who reach this stage invited to the award ceremony itself later in the year. 

People in Clwyd South can nominate those they believe worthy of consideration via the following website: https://www.gov.wales/st-david-awards/nominate

Mr Baynes said: “The St David Awards are a fantastic way of recognising and celebrating those who contribute to civic life in Wales. 

"As MP for Clwyd South, I am always keen to highlight my constituents who go above and beyond in their contribution to our communities and these Awards are a great way to do that. If anyone wishes to nominate a resident of Clwyd South for this prestigious award, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.”
