Awards

The One Weekend plays host to our annual regional awards, where we celebrate the fantastic work done by branches and activists over the last year.

If you’ve been inspired by the work of an individual activist or a whole branch, why not nominate them for one of the awards below? Nominations can come from individual members, branches or UNISON staff.

You have until 5pm on 31 March to make your picks.

 

Venue and costs

Situated midway between Cambridge and Milton Keynes, at the edge of the historic market town of St Neots and set in 380 acres of rural countryside is Wyboston Lakes Resort.

Our One Weekend 2025 event will be hosted in the Woodlands Event Centre, clearly signposted near to the entrance of the resort. This self-contained building has all the modern training rooms, refreshments, food and accommodation facilities that are required to ensure the weekend goes smoothly for you.

Wyboston Lakes is a cashless venue so only card payments will be accepted for drinks and incidentals.

There are a range of event packages available but please discuss with your branch in the first instance.
