The City of Lincoln Council is encouraging people to spring a special surprise on a certain individual who has worked tirelessly and selflessly for others without any recognition or remuneration.
These achievements do not have to be monumental and could be something as simple as the kindness shown by an individual; in caring for an elderly or infirm neighbour or relative over a number of years.
There are many unsung heroes who contribute to our community in invaluable ways, from voluntary workers and charity fundraisers to those who organise local clubs, all of whom generously give up their free time ensuring a better quality of life for others.
From small gestures to more significant efforts, every contribution is worthy of appreciation, and the Mayoral Medals offer the perfect opportunity to give someone the recognition they deserve.
The nominations will be judged by the Mayor of Lincoln, Councillor Alan Briggs, and the Civic Manager at City of Lincoln Council, Kate Fenn, who are eager to receive as many nominations as possible for the prestigious Mayoral Medal. They will select six deserving individuals for this honour.
Kate Fenn said:
“Mayoral Medals were originally presented by the Mayor to those returning to the City from the First World War, thanking them for their service to their Country and City. In 1995, the Council agreed to restore this historic tradition and present six Mayoral Medals annually”.
It’s quick and easy to nominate an outstanding individual!

The deadline for nominations is 20 March 2025
The winners will be honoured in a special ceremony held at the city’s historic Guildhall on Tuesday, 29 April, where the Mayor will present the Mayoral Medals in recognition of their exceptional service to the community.
Don’t miss this chance to highlight the quiet heroes who make our city a better place, one small act at a time.
