National Association of Local Councils Star Council Awards
NACO is pleased to announce that it will be supporting the National Association of Local Councils (NALC) Star Council awards this year to celebrate the hard work and dedication of the parish and town council sector. The Star Council awards are the only awards programme in England specifically designed to acknowledge the impact and contribution of parish and town councils in their communities.
The awards are open to all parish and town councils, councillors, county associations and clerks across England. Entrants can apply for six award categories: Council of the Year, Councillor of the Year, Young Councillor of the Year, Climate Response of the Year, County Association of the Year and Clerk of the Year. The award categories have been carefully selected to recognise excellence in different areas of parish and town council operations and highlight the varied contributions made by councils.
The nomination period ends on 5th September 2025, and winners will be announced at NALC’s Parliamentary Reception in the House of Lords on 24th February 2026.
