Active Sussex announces finalists for the Sussex Sport & Physical Activity Awards 2023

Previously known as the Sussex Sport Awards, the new name and logo reflects Active Sussex’s new Getting Sussex Moving strategy.

This year there are nine awards, with the Environmental Sustainability Awards and the Rising Star award categories new this year.

Finalists for the Active School of the Year category include Southwater Junior Academy, in Southwater and Thomas A Becket Junior School, in Worthing - both who were finalists last year. A new finalist this year is St Peter & St Paul C E (VA) Primary School, in Bexhill-on-Sea.

The Community Engagement Award attracted many entries, but this year’s successful finalists included Active Hastings, The Y.E.S Project, and Hastings Rounders.

The Environmental Sustainability category is a very important category in these awards, with Active Sussex making a commitment to promote environmental sustainability as part of its environmental social governance policy.

The award is designed to highlight an organisation or project that is taking steps to reduce its environmental impact and advocate this crucial area of work to others. The finalists are South Downs Leisure, Crowborough Athletic Football Club, and Freedom Leisure.
