Sussex Soprts Award

The Sussex Sports Awards is one of the most prestigious evenings in the Sussex sporting calendar, celebrating Sussex sport, physical activity and the phenomenal heroines and heroes who have contributed at all levels, across all walks of life. The Hawks have been nominated in the prestigious ‘Club of The Year’ category – a recognition of the club’s community projects over the past year.

Head of Commercial and partner in the Hawks in the Community project, Kevin Miller said,

“To be shortlisted for this prestigious award is phenomenal, and a testament to the incredible time and effort that so many people have given to create some incredible moments over the past year. We are part of an amazing community, and as a grassroots football club we have a duty to do what we can to help and inspire our region. This nomination is a recognition that we’re on the right track.”

He added,

“Football is a powerful tool to unite communities, it draws people of all backgrounds together in a common cause. Going to a football match can inspire, improve mental health, give people a renewed sense of purpose and create more contented lives. Grassroots football in this country relies on volunteers who have a passion for their club and community, and we are connecting with our community and our city.”

The Club of the Year category is a public vote, with closing date/ time just one hour before the announcement on the night.
