It was a packed house as we celebrated of excellence, collaboration, hard work and best practice in the community safety sector on the evening on 26 February 2026. Following on from our powerful National ASB Conference, the ASB Awards 2026, with a new record 300 attendees, brought the sector together while putting a spotlight on the partnerships driving safer and stronger communities across the UK. The evening opened with a welcome from Roger Griffiths, Chairman of the Board, who reflected on Resolve's journey and the extraordinary commitment shown by practitioners across the UK. Across eight categories, we then heard stories of innovation, courage, collaboration and frontline excellence. Huge congratulations to every winner, runner up and shortlisted nominee and well done on all your hard work, which is and will carry on shaping the future of community safety. As Resolve's CEO Rebecca Bryant noted, “Every year, the ASB Awards remind us that this sector is powered by people who refuse to give up on communities. Tonight’s winners and runners up show what dedication, compassion and partnership can achieve and why our work matters now more than ever.”
A massive congratulations to all our winners!
