The Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards 2025 celebrate volunteers across rugby for their achievements over the past 12 months and nominations for season 24/25 are now open.

Anyone can nominate someone for consideration, it doesn't have to be someone on the committee or trustee gr and all the information on the categories and how to nominate can be found here - Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards 2025 | Rugby Football Union . If you know of someone at the club that you feel deserves to be nominated then you can complete an application for them, there is no limit on how many people we can nominate or indeed on how many times one person can be nominated.

Applications will be sent centrally to the RFU and then passed down to Berkshire to assess and local winners will be announced, finalists are then selected and invited to attend a national event. It's a great way for anyone and everyone to nominate and recognise the great volunteers we have at the club.

Nominations close on the 14th February and if anyone has any questions about the awards please let me know - my email is sarah.rugby.NRFC@outlook.com
