There is less than a month to go before nominations close for this year’s Ealing Sports Awards.

They are an opportunity for local people to ensure that the borough’s sporting heroes get the recognition they deserve for their work in the community.

Nominations are being welcomed in nine categories:

Junior club of the year
Sports Club of the year
Coach of the year
Adult volunteer of the year
Junior volunteer of the year
Outstanding contribution to sport
Inclusive sports award
Junior sports person of the year
Adult sports person of the year

Categories are inclusive, and are open to any club, organisation, group, association, partnership or individual based in the borough.

The annual awards are run by Ealing Council and local leisure provider Everyone Active and celebrate the commitment, talent and achievements of Ealing’s sports clubs, inspirational volunteers and fantastic sporting individuals.

Councillor Jasbir Anand, cabinet member for thriving communities said, “We are lucky to have a borough with a thriving sports scene and a great number of grass roots clubs, organisations, teachers, volunteers, trainers and instructors, helping people stay healthy, happy and active through sport.

“This is the chance to help give them rightful recognition, so if you know a person, or organisation that you think deserves to be celebrated, nominate them for the Ealing Sports Awards today.”

Nominations will close at midday on Tuesday, 2 May and winners will be announced at an awards ceremony over the summer.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site.
