about our awards
The Best Of WF3 Awards
The Best of WF3 Awards, powered by WF3 Kindness, celebrate the amazing people, groups and businesses that make Tingley, Ardsley & Thorpe a better place to live, work and go to school.
Our community is full of everyday heroes — neighbours who look out for each other, volunteers who give their time, teachers who go above and beyond, young people making a difference, and local businesses that care about more than just profit.
The Best of WF3 Awards shine a light on these stories of kindness, dedication and community spirit.
Why We Created The Awards
WF3 Kindness began with a simple mission: to spread kindness and make our community stronger and our vision has always been: to create a friendly, supportive and kind community for people that live, work or go to school across Tingley, Ardsley, Thorpe and the surrounding area.
We see incredible acts of generosity and compassion every day — but they often go unnoticed. The Best of WF3 Awards were created to recognise and celebrate those positive actions, no matter how big or small.
Because when we celebrate good, we inspire more of it.

The awards simply wouldn’t happen without the support of local volunteers, sponsors, partners and the people who take the time to nominate their neighbours, friends, colleagues and local heroes.
