Derby Impact Awards 2026

Celebrate Derby's changemakers! Join us in the Library for an inspiring evening recognising social, cultural and community impact. The Derby Impact Awards celebrate the individuals, businesses, charities and social enterprises making a positive difference across Derby and Derbyshire. Join us for an inspiring evening of recognition, networking and celebration as we showcase organisations and leaders who are tackling social challenges, strengthening communities, creating opportunities and driving positive change.
