Comedian, King of Panto and WF3 Kindness Patron Billy Pearce has provided an exciting update on the Best of WF3 Awards!

Nominations for our much-loved awards have been extended, giving the community extra time to put forward their local heroes. The new closing date for nominations is midnight on Friday 31 January.

The exciting update comes in a special video message recorded by comedian, King of Panto and WF3 Kindness Patron Billy Pearce, who has also been confirmed as host of our 2026 Awards ceremony. Billy will once again take to the stage to celebrate all that is good about Tingley, Ardsley, Thorpe and the surrounding area and announce the winners on the night.

The Best of WF3 Awards 2026 will be held on Sunday 3 May at The Village Hotel Leeds South, bringing together nominees, supporters and partners for an evening dedicated to recognising the people and organisations who make our community a better place.

Billy has been a proud supporter of WF3 Kindness since the very beginning of our journey and has hosted the Awards every year, making him a much-loved and familiar face of the event.

Now is the time to act. If you know an individual, group or organisation who goes above and beyond for others, don’t miss the chance to recognise them. Nominations must be submitted by midnight on 31 January.
