Celebrating Volunteers and Community in Southwark
For over 18 years, Southwark Stars Awards has been bringing together charities and community groups to celebrate the dedication and skill of volunteers.
Each year, the ceremony provides an evening of excitement and joy to recognise and honour those who make our borough a better place to live, work, and spend time.
Southwark Stars 2025
Southwark Star’s 2025 took place at the stunning Glaziers Hall, and was an unforgettable evening of culture, gratitude, and community pride.
“A great, heart-warming event. Lovely to recognise the talent and passion across Southwark’s volunteers, enhanced by the poignant music, dance and poetry.”
