The ARCH Community Champion Awards recognise the dedication, willingness, inspiration and devotion that our tenants freely give to others, and it is hoped that this can motivate others and give them examples of things they can do in their own community.

The deadline for nominations for the 2025 Awards has been extended to 1 September.  To make your nominations, use the form here: ARCH Community Champion Award

In 2025 there will be two ARCH Community Champion Awards, one of which will be specifically for those aged under 30. The award recognises the individuals or groups who have dedicated their time to making a difference in their community and to the lives of people living social housing

They don’t necessarily need to be a part of a formal panel, group, committee or forum to be nominated. Nominees can be a tenant, a member of tenants household, a community group or anyone contributing to the HRA. ARCH Tenant Group members, Council staff, or those that have previously received either of the awards in the last 2 years cannot be nominated.

The nominations will be judged by the ARCH judging panel.
