Who are Trafalgar’s leading citizens?

News

The Trafalgar Citizen of the Year seeks to recognise people who have significantly contributed to the local community. The award began in 2005 and in 2011 a youth category was added. The award for 2025 will be presented on January 26.

The Citizen of the Year committee wants you to start thinking of appropriate people who deserve to be recognised as Trafalgar’s 2025 citizen of the year. Talk to your friends and people in your network to decide on a person or persons you would like to nominate.

When deciding who to vote for, The Trafalgar Community Development Association encourages you to consider how the person’s actions may have inspired you or contributed significantly to the Trafalgar community. This could be through volunteering, community participation or their work.

Use the entry form on this page and note that entries must be received no later than October 31
