The Cora Phillips Award 2026
The Bromley Dementia Friendly Community is delighted to launch this year’s Cora Phillips Award – which is presented annually to a team, organisation or group going the extra mile to support local people affected by dementia.
Nominations are now open and the closing date is noon Monday 23rd March 2026, with the Award ceremony taking place during this year’s Dementia Action Week on 21st May.
Do you run a dementia café supporting family carers and those living with the disease? Perhaps you are a business, a group of volunteers or paid staff – maybe in a hospital or community setting – who are passionate about supporting our dementia community?
The Bromley DFC would love to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements. We’d like to hear how in the last calendar year (January 1st to December 31st 2025) you contributed to the wellbeing of people in the borough living with dementia.
Our independent and distinguished judging panel will determine the recipient of the prestigious Cora Phillips Award.
All panel members are leaders in their specific dementia field and bring passion, experience and expert knowledge. We thank each of them for their time, which has been freely given.
Please don’t be modest. Please nominate your organisation or team and tell us why your team or organisation should be considered for this award. Please complete the form below. Closing date is noon Monday 23rd March 2026.
