Celebrating Little Heroes Across the UK. Nominate Your Star Today!
About The Pride of PlayFaire
The Pride of PlayFaire Awards celebrate the wonderful spirit of young children (0-5 years old) who have brought kindness, courage, or creativity into the lives of those around them—whether in their community, among friends, or within their family. This Christmas, we’re shining a spotlight on those little heroes whose actions, no matter how small, make the biggest difference.
We’re giving away 100 incredible toys to 100 little heroes who truly shine in their acts of goodness, and we have 3 very special awards for the most extraordinary stories—the ones that truly embody the values of care, courage, and creativity. These awards are not just gifts; they are a heartfelt acknowledgment of the power that children have to inspire others, even at such a young age.
This holiday season, we want to make a difference together. We’re inviting everyone to spread kindness, joy, and compassion—not just through nominations, but through daily acts of consideration for others. Imagine how many lives we can brighten if we all choose to lend a helping hand, share a warm smile, or be there for someone in need.
