As part of this year’s Champions in Our Colleges celebration day (taking place on Friday 1 May 2026) – we are running a prize draw called Nominate a Champion. This prize draw is all about recognising the fantastic contributions of support staff in colleges. These staff members work so hard to keep colleges running smoothly and support learners with their education.
Important information
The winners will be chosen at random (one per region). The winning nominator will receive a £25 gift card, with their winning champion also receiving a £25 gift card.
From the 12 regional winners, one will be chosen by a judging panel to represent Further Education members at the Local Government Conference in Brighton and receive a £250 gift card (instead of £25).
