The BURA Awards for Community Inspired Regeneration celebrate best practice in community inspired and led regeneration in urban and rural areas across the United Kingdom.

Sponsored by Communities and Local Government, the awards are a celebration of outstanding grassroots regeneration projects; the schemes that address local issues and as a result are raising community spirit and improving quality of life.

Formerly the BURA Charitable Trust Awards for Community Regeneration, these leading independent recognition awards have recognised more than 90 projects since the early 1990s. The awards have celebrated a tremendous variety of projects ranging from a mothers' support group to building projects such as multi-use community centres and from a community art mural to projects addressing acute health inequality.

The 2007 Awards Winners ceremony was held at the House of Lords on 18 January 2008. Click here to download the brochure.
