Inspiring Aberdeenshire
Inspiring Aberdeenshire is one of the council’s biggest annual events. The awards celebrate the achievements and successes of our people across Aberdeenshire who go the extra mile for their communities, often with little or no other official recognition.
We held the 2023 awards at Meldrum House on 27 September. It was the first time we had been back fully together since 2019. A recording of the event will be shared on this page shortly. You can find out who won in all of the categories at the winners section below. Well done to them and to all of our finalists.

Performers
In previous years we have had performances during the night from local dancers, singers, school choirs, even a skipping group. We are always keen to get local performers involved throughout the night. If you are involved with a group who would like to be on stage with us at the next event, please email us with a short description of who you are and what you do. Video links will also help the organisers better understand your performance.
Sponsors
The event benefits from sponsorship by a range of local companies who are keen to be involved from year to year. View our sponsorship pack (PDF 8MB).
