Every year, LCC hands out campaigner awards to not just its own borough activists and groups, but to other organisations and those working across London to make our city and boroughs better for walking, cycling and wheeling.
The 2024 LCC AGM and Campaigning Awards will be taking place on Wednesday, 20 November at the Covent Garden Community Centre. We hope you can make it! You can register for the awards and our AGM here.
