Learning Partnership West Bristol City Council

The Bristol Young Heroes Awards 2026 gave us another incredible opportunity to celebrate the inspiring young people making a difference across our city. 💜

While we continue to celebrate this year’s finalists and winners, we know there are many more young people across Bristol whose stories deserve to be recognised.

Perhaps you already have someone in mind for 2027? A young person who has overcome challenges, supported others, achieved something remarkable or made a positive impact in their community.

You can let us know through our 2027 Pre-Nomination Form. There’s no commitment to nominate at this stage. We’ll simply keep in touch and remind you when official nominations begin.

Keep your future Bristol Young Heroes in mind. 🌟
