The Mansfield Rotary Annual Courage Awards honour local young people who have faced and overcome extraordinary physical, environmental or mental challenges.
About the awards
There is no single winner — each nominee has equal status, and every one of them has a story worth celebrating. Nominations come from schools across the Mansfield area, and the evening regularly leaves the whole room inspired.
Rotary covers the cost of the evening for each nominee, their parents and a representative from their school. The 35th Courage Awards were held on Tuesday 10th March 2026 at Portland College; the next edition will be announced here.
