The awards take place annually to recognise the contribution of people within the borough who go the extra mile to help their community and to celebrate all those who make a real difference to the lives of others in Gateshead. A new category has been included in the awards for 2023, Tackling Climate Change, which will recognise the contribution of those helping to improve the sustainability of Gateshead and helping to ensure the borough is carbon neutral by 2030.
The Gateshead Awards 2023 will be sponsored by Gateshead FC, Gateshead College, HYHubs, Northgate Vehicle Hire and Tarmac.

Despite facing difficult circumstances our local communities have continued to come together to help those most in need and Gateshead is more resilient because of the true community spirit that is demonstrated everyday across the borough.
