Reminder to celebrate your West Northants male role models
20 October 2025
West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is reminding residents to submit their nominations for the West Northamptonshire Male Role Model Awards 2025 before the deadline of midnight, on Sunday 26 October.
These annual awards honour those who go above and beyond to inspire and go the extra mile for their communities, workplaces and the people around them. Whether through quiet acts of kindness, bold leadership, or simply being a steady source of support, these individuals deserve to be recognised.
Nominations are open to any man or boy who has demonstrated positive leadership, support, or dedication within their community. If you know someone who has inspired you or others, or has had a meaningful impact through their actions, this is your chance to celebrate their efforts.
Finalists will be celebrated at a special ceremony on Wednesday 19 November, from 4.30pm at Northampton Guildhall, in honour of International Men’s Day 2025.
To submit a nomination please visit the form here. Please note all individuals nominated must be living or working in West Northamptonshire.
These awards are part of WNC’s initiative to raise awareness of men’s wellbeing and highlight the importance of this topic. As part of this, this year’s event will be open to members of the public to drop in and see a range of stall holders to find out more about support and advice available in Northamptonshire. Stall holders will include: Action4happiness, Sends4Dads, Recovery College NHFT, DM Photography & Film, Art Jam, Andys Man Club, Cruse Bereavement Support and more.
West and North Northamptonshire Councils are sharing stories of males who have lived experience of suicide and together are encouraging people to #starttheconversation around suicide prevention to help raise awareness.
Having a range of stallholders as part of this event is a great opportunity for members of the public to come along and find out more about support available for the men in their lives, whether it be a child, friend, dad, brother or neighbour.Cllr Charlie Hastie, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities at West Northamptonshire Council
There is a wealth of support available and I strongly encourage people to come along to find out more, whilst also joining the award celebrations.
