Not all heroes wear capes.
Some don’t seek attention, applause, or recognition at all — they simply get on with the job of making Medway a better place. 💙
That’s exactly what Pride in Medway is about.
In our latest conversation, we sit down with Simon Cook from MidKent College and Simon Ryan from Willmott Dixon to unpack what makes Pride in Medway so important — and why these awards are about far more than popularity contests or online votes.
What Pride in Medway Really Stands For
At its heart, Pride in Medway exists to shine a light on the people whose impact often goes unnoticed. The carers, volunteers, mentors, neighbours, and quiet leaders who change lives without expecting anything in return.
During the discussion, we explore:
Why nominations matter more than popularity — it’s about genuine impact, not who has the biggest following.
The power of recognition — how a simple nomination can validate years of selfless work.
Community legacy — why organisations like MidKent College and Willmott Dixon believe in backing the people who hold communities together.
Untold stories — how some of Medway’s most powerful stories are the ones least likely to be shared.
These awards aren’t about glamour. They’re about gratitude.
Why Your Nomination Counts
So many people across Medway make a difference quietly — often assuming what they do is “just part of life.” Pride in Medway gives us the chance to say: we see you, and what you do matters.
If someone has helped a neighbour through a hard time, given their energy to a local cause, supported young people, or shown extraordinary kindness when it was needed most — they deserve to be recognised.
Sometimes, all it takes is one person speaking up on their behalf.
