Congratulations to our 50 Faces of Barnes Awardees
The 50 Faces of Barnes Awards celebrate the unsung heroes who have volunteered their time and energy to make a lasting impact on the Barnes community. Launched as part of Barnes Community Association's 50th anniversary, these awards honour individuals who, through their selfless commitment, have supported local causes and initiatives. Whether by volunteering at charities or organizing neighbourhood projects, they embody the spirit of community service that keeps Barnes vibrant. We would like to extend our thanks to everyone who was nominated; each person’s contribution plays a vital role in fostering the close-knit community we all cherish.
The 50 Faces awardees were invited to a special ceremony at the Barnes Food Fair, where they were formally recognised and received their awards. We would like to thank everyone who attended and supported the event.
