Building on a Much-Loved Town Event

We’re delighted to be Main Event Sponsor for the Galashiels Heartland Awards 2026, building on an established event that has become a much-loved part of the town’s calendar.

Over the years, the Heartland Awards have grown into more than an awards evening. They are a community-owned town asset - shaped by local involvement, public support and a shared commitment to recognising what makes Galashiels special. They highlight the people, businesses and organisations who put love at the heart of everything they do.

For us at BID for Galashiels, sponsoring the event is about helping it continue to grow and maximise its impact for the business community within our town centre. Local businesses play a vital role in Galashiels’ identity and economy. The Heartland Awards offer a meaningful opportunity to celebrate their resilience, creativity and dedication, while reminding us all of the value of supporting local.

At its heart, the awards are about supporting one another - businesses championing businesses, organisations encouraging each other and residents showing appreciation for those who go the extra mile. That culture of support makes a real difference and helps build steady confidence in our town centre.

We’re proud to support an event that brings recognition and positivity to Galashiels, and we look forward to seeing the community get behind this year’s awards once again.
