The Healthy Harrow Awards 2026 celebrate the incredible individuals, organisations, and community groups who go above and beyond to make Harrow a healthier, happier place to live. The awards also recognise efforts to address health inequalities so that every resident, regardless of background, has the opportunity to thrive.
These Awards shine a light on those stars who dedicate their time, energy, and passion to improving the wellbeing of residents across the London Borough of Harrow, whether through health promotion, community support, fitness initiatives, mental health advocacy, or other forms of positive action.
Anyone can get involved, you can nominate yourself or someone you believe deserves recognition.
The Awards are a chance to say “Thank You” to the people making a real difference, inspire others to take action, and celebrate the collective effort that keeps Harrow thriving.
To nominate yourself or someone else, please fill out the Online Form.
If you need the form in an alternative format or require any assistance to complete it, please contact us by email healthyharrow@vah.org.uk or phone 020 8861 5894 (ask for Natasha) and we’ll be happy to help.
Nominations need to be submitted by Monday, 2nd February 2026.
Open to anyone making a positive impact in the Harrow community, the Awards span ten categories that reflect the wide range of projects, initiatives, and contributions helping to improve life across the borough. The categories are:

Honouring the caring hands and kind hearts of GPs, nurses, carers, and other professionals who dedicate themselves to improving health.
Celebrating social groups (e.g. charities, social enterprises, faith institutions, peer groups) who care for our community day-to-day, making a real difference to residents’ health and wellbeing.
Appreciating the champions who help our community stay healthy, happy, and thriving. If you’re unsure which category applies, or don’t see one that fits, this is the place for your nomination.
