Community Health Ambassadors Network Southwark with the Tate Modern hosting.

The winners of Southwark Stars 2023 are on the Community Southwark’s website www.communitysouthwark.org

The annual Southwark Stars Awards were held on May 26th, 2023, celebrating remarkable volunteers, charities and community groups working to make Southwark a better place for all. Community Southwark, the umbrella body for community organisations in Southwark, will host the award ceremony at Tate Modern with music, food and celebration!

Southwark is home to hundreds of grassroots community groups, from large charities to one person efforts. Community Southwark describes how ‘the last few years have been immensely difficult for these groups and they rarely have the chance to recognise the incredible difference they are making.’

It also recognises the volunteers who form the threads in the fabric of these groups, with over 100 Volunteer Champion and Health Ambassador Certificates presented to individuals. The Ambassadors Network, coordinated by Healthwatch Southwark and Southwark Council, was established during Covid-19 and has grown into a dynamic network of individuals assisting underrepresented communities in accessing relevant healthcare and having their voices heard.

The ceremony recognises the joint work of community organisations and Southwark’s thriving businesses sector. Best Corporate Partnership award, presented this year by ZS Associates, builds on Community Southwark’s ongoing program of corporate and community collaboration which seeks to strengthen the links between the sectors through skill sharing and team days.

The ceremony can only take place thanks to a number of amazing sponsors: Meridian West, NEC, Southwark Charities, Peckham Settlement,
