Burnley Community Sports Awards were established to recognise and celebrate the contributions and achievements of local people and communities to sport, physical activity, and community development.

The awards, organised by Burnley Leisure, pay tribute to those who show dedication at a range of levels or those who work tirelessly to support individuals or community clubs, for the love of the sport and their community.

Details of the awards and how to nominate either an individual or team/group for them are available at http://burnleyleisure.co.uk/home/get-in2/sports-awards.

All shortlisted nominees will be invited to the evening along with some of their family and friends.
