Sherborne Scoop Sustainability Award

Sherborne in the spotlight as winner of town Sustainability award sponsored by VISA and the British Retail Consortium

Following the announcement that Sherborne had been shortlisted as a finalist in the Sustainability category of the Visa and British Retail Consortium’s Let’s Celebrate Town Awards, we are thrilled to let you know that we won!

This is an award for the town and is huge recognition of all the effort the local people and businesses of Sherborne put into making our community more sustainable. By addressing sustainability challenges, celebrating green businesses and initiatives, as well as promoting circularity practices, we contribute to a more sustainable future as well as a great place to live and work.

As part of winning this award Sherborne will receive £15,000 to put towards a community project or initiative. There will also be help made available to the town, to upskill SMEs, enabling them to thrive in a changing business environment and connect small businesses to experts for advice and support.

Steve Shield, Sherborne Town Clerk said ‘winning the Let’s Celebrate Town’s Sustainability award is a great achievement for Sherborne and huge recognition for the effort local people and businesses make towards sustainability within the town. The financial investment and support will go a long way in helping to realise our town’s ambitions of building a sustainable future for future generations.’

We want to say a big thank you to all the businesses and organisations in the town that contributed to the submitted award entry, along with our ambassadors for the town from a local business and the town council, who attended the awards ceremony at the House of Lords on Wednesday evening.
