Held in partnership with Active IQ, the shortlist includes fitness and leisure operators, councils, suppliers, universities, sports bodies and charities.

This year features two new awards – The Jan Spaticchia Award and the Education Provider of the Year Award. The COVID-19 award categories, which debuted last year, will focus on how the sector continues to recover.

“We are delighted but not surprised by the number of incredible entries and stories we have received for this year’s ukactive Awards, which is testament to the unquestionable resilience and innovation within our sector,” said Huw Edwards, CEO of ukactive.

“We are extremely proud of all of our members, who have worked so hard in rebuilding the sector and our nation’s health, as we mark just over a year since facilities were allowed to reopen.”

The awards will be held at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham, on 30 June, following the Active Uprising conference.
