Each year, the Council invites all members of the community to submit nominations for the annual Parishioners’ Awards.

Two Awards can be made each year - one to an Individual and one to a Group/Organisation - in recognition of outstanding Public Service to the Community.

All Rustington parishioners or parish-based organisations (including voluntary groups and professionals) are eligible to receive these Awards.
Individuals, Groups and Organisations from outside of the Parish, who make an outstanding contribution for the benefit of the community of Rustington, may also be considered for these Awards.

These are ‘once in a lifetime’ Awards and will not be presented on more than one occasion to any Individuals, Groups, Clubs, Organisations or Associations.

Closing Date for Nominations is Monday 27 April 2026

How are the Awards decided?

Two Awards can be made - one to an Individual and one to a Group/Organisation - in recognition of outstanding Public Service to the Community.

All Rustington Parishioners or parish-based organisations (including voluntary groups and professionals) are eligible to receive these Awards.

Individuals, Groups and Organisations from outside of the Parish, who make an outstanding contribution for the benefit of the community of Rustington, may also be considered for these Awards.

Following the closing date for Nominations, a small internal Working Party of Councillors will meet, along with the Clerk of the Council, to review all of the Nomination Forms that have been received.  After detailed consideration of all of the applications placed before them, the Working Party will make a Recommendation(s) to Full Council, at its May Meeting, of the name(s) of the proposed recipient(s) of a Parishioners' Award for that year.
