The Community Awards were established and hosted by the Guernsey Community Foundation, The Community Awards is the only awards programme in Guernsey that formally applauds the voluntary sector.

The awards celebrate the local charities, organisations, groups, individuals and businesses who work tirelessly to raise money and embark on community projects for the benefit of others, across the bailiwick and further afield.
