Celebrate the volunteers
The Honda Volunteer of the Year Awards 2023 will recognise and celebrate volunteers across Rugby for their achievements over the past 12 months.
To recognise the outstanding contribution that volunteers have made to both their rugby clubs and the wider community, this year’s national awards programme will focus on three specific categories:
Game for All
Unsung Hero
Challenging Spirit
Nominations can be made for an individual, or a team of volunteers within a club, who have gone above and beyond over the course of the past 12 months.
Nominations will close on Friday 24th February (17.00).
The Honda Volunteer of the Year awards will once again be staged at Twickenham in in September.

Award Summary
This award is looking to recognise those who have a desire to continually develop the club.
