Vectis Radio is pleased to announce their very first Isle of Wight Community Awards.
Taking place on Friday 31st March, the Community Radio Station is offering a chance for all Island-based community organisations and charities to be publicly recognised for the valuable work that they do in our community.
Station Manager, Ian Mac, said,
“Vectis Radio has been working in the community for over 12 years now and we felt it was time to do something extra for the community.
“We are excited to announce these awards for 2023 and we invite all community organisations to apply.”
The categories
The awards are open to any charity, individual or community (non-profit) organisation based on the Isle of Wight and are split into several categories:
- Community Project of the Year
- New Community Project/Organisation of the Year
- Island Based International Project/Organisation of the Year
- Animal Focused Community Project/Organisation of the Year

- Charity Fundraiser of the Year (over 18)

The event, to be held at The Riverside Centre at the end of March 2023, will be specifically aimed at these organisations.
Free to enter awards and event tickets just £10
Event organiser Maggie Currie said,
“Community organisations don’t have much money to spare so we wanted to hold an evening event that would fit the pockets of those who would like to come along and celebrate the Isle of Wight Community without breaking the bank. For that reason, the entries to the categories are free and event tickets are being kept to £10.”
Entries need to be submitted by midnight on 27th January 2023 and can be made by visiting the Vectis Radio Website.
