Announcing the winners of the APSE Service Awards 2023

Announcing the winners of the APSE Service Awards 2023

APSE is delighted to announce the winners of the APSE Service Awards 2023

The winners were announced at the APSE Annual Charity Awards Dinner, in aid of Parkinson’s UK, on Thursday 14 September 2023 at the Titanic Belfast.

Speaking about the Awards, Mo Baines, APSE Chief Executive, said, " Across local government we have an army of unsung heroes going above and beyond to deliver for their local communities. The purpose of last night’s celebration was to recognise the very best in public services and to share that best practice with all. We received over 300 submissions for the awards this year, with each one demonstrating a clear commitment to the goals of continuous improvement and the delivery of excellence in public services. On behalf of everyone at APSE, I would like to congratulate each one of our incredible finalists – you are a credit to the communities you serve."

The APSE Awards are specific to frontline services provided by UK local authorities. This year, the Awards included 21 categories, covering the vast majority of local services, as well as the prestigious Overall Council of the Year in Service Delivery Award.

The ceremony took place at the rise of the APSE Annual Seminar 2023.
