Supported by the Marsh Charitable Trust
The Community Catalyst of the Year award is awarded to someone who goes above-and-beyond to promote the benefits of craft within their community, whether that be a local community or a community of interest. Typically, they will be committed to widening participation, and their way of working will create a groundswell of enthusiasm that brings others along with them.
Anyone, including the community catalyst themselves, can nominate for this award. Finalists will be expected to attend the high-profile Winners’ Reception in November 2025.
The Marsh Charitable Trust, as part of their commitment to grassroots recognition, is working in partnership with Heritage Crafts in support of the significant work done by heritage crafts volunteers.
Please note that all awards nominations now use the same application form, so you can nominate yourself or someone else for multiple awards in one go, rather than completing separate forms!
