We are delighted to announce Swansea Building Society as the official sponsor of our prestigious Community Champion Award. This partnership underscores Swansea Building Society's already well-established commitment to recognising and celebrating individuals who make extraordinary contributions to their communities.

This year’s Child of Wales Awards is scheduled to take place at Swansea Arena on September 27, 2024. Now in its third year, the Awards is again set to be an emotional, inspirational, and unforgettable affair for all involved, attracting media personalities, celebrities, sports stars, and international entertainers.

The event will honour and celebrate the achievements of remarkable children and young people across Wales, while raising vital funds for charities dedicated to supporting children across the nation. The Community Champion Award specifically acknowledges individuals whose selfless efforts have made a significant difference in their communities.

Swansea Building Society is renowned for its own commitment to helping organisations within the local community. Marking its centenary last year, the Society donated well over £100,000 to a variety of community-based charities and organisations as part of its celebrations.

As the Community Champion Award sponsor, Swansea Building Society will play a pivotal role in spotlighting the invaluable contributions of young community heroes throughout Wales, highlighting the importance of recognising and nurturing the efforts of those who go above and beyond to make a difference in the lives of others.
