No1 Neighbour Awards


If you know a Good Neighbour we want to hear about them!

Organised in partnership with the Evening Chronicle, council tenants and leaseholders living in the region are all eligible for the No 1 Neighbour Awards which will recognise and reward the contribution that great neighbours can make to communities.

The winner of the No 1 Neighbour of the Year award will take home £1,000 and a hand crafted trophy at a ceremony hosted by radio and television personality Kathy Secker. The ceremony takes place during a celebration lunch at Newcastle Centre For Life in September.

As well as the North East's best neighbour, there are also categories including Contribution to the Community and a Young Person's Community Award open to YHN tenants and leaseholders who are under 25 years old.
