Mayor's Awards to individuals
The Mayor makes an award at the end of his/her year (presented at Annual Council) to up to three people who he/she feels have made a contribution to life in Basingstoke but who would not necessarily otherwise be recognised for example by a Queen’s award.
Past awards have gone to people who have worked in organising sport for young people, theatre and arts activities, contributing to village life etc. The award is a badge supplied by Thomas Fattorini of Birmingham and can be worn on a ribbon at Civic occasions.
The award(s) are entirely at the discretion of the Mayor.
