Osborne Proms organisers have announced a heart-warming new campaign to celebrate community spirit across the Island.
Following the success of early bird ticket sales, which included a complete sell-out of VIP passes, the team behind Osborne Proms ’25 is launching its 25 Local Heroes initiative, inviting Islanders to nominate individuals who go above and beyond for their community.
Whether it’s a neighbour who helps others quietly, a volunteer who gives their time selflessly, or someone who simply makes a difference through kindness, the campaign aims to spotlight unsung heroes, whose actions matter no matter how big or small.
The 25 chosen nominees will each receive two free tickets to this year’s Osborne Proms concert, offering them the chance to enjoy a spectacular evening of classical favourites performed by the renowned Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, in the stunning grounds of Osborne House.
Nominations must be submitted, via email, to info@osborneproms.co.uk by 11pm on Friday, June 6. The winners will be announced on Monday, June 16, on the event’s website and Facebook page.
