Radio Bath celebrated the extraordinary dedication of more than 200 volunteers, charity workers, and community champions at its first-ever Charity Awards ceremony. The event, held at The Pavilion, recognised local efforts across 17 categories, from outstanding volunteering to grassroots initiatives making a tangible difference in the region.
Supported by local network 3SG and headline sponsor South West Business Finance, the ceremony brought together over 200 attendees, including representatives from local businesses, charities, and organisations. Guests enjoyed a catered lunch by Tu Mangetout as the community’s hard work was applauded.
Judges—all Radio Bath patrons—carefully reviewed over 100 nominations, ultimately selecting the winners who exemplify the spirit of service and community commitment.
