The Ashdown Radio Community Awards 2025
The awards will take place on Friday 26th September at the East Sussex National Hotel in Uckfield. The evening will include a three course dinner with the night being hosted by the organiser of the awards and our Business Development Manager Gary King, ably assisted by Judith Austin CEO of Wealden Volunteering.
Dress code for the night is Smart/Formal/Black-Tie/Evening Dress.
Arrival time is from 7pm with a welcome drink and the awards itself will get underway at 8pm and will finish by around 11pm.
Being held in conjunction with Wealden Volunteering, the evening will celebrate the achievements of local people from across Crowborough, Uckfield, Heathfield and surrounding areas, across 14 categories.
During May and June we invited people to nominate individuals and groups in 13 of the categories.
