Introducing
The NAPAAs!
National Activity Provider Admin Awards
The NAPAAs are free to enter with prizes including an award trophy, industry accolade, and scholarships worth £150 each.
We are lucky to work with some amazing Administrators, across a range of sectors in the activity provider space, and often they are the unsung heroes of an organisation keeping parents and members happy, and businesses in business!
The admin of a business can make or break it, and we think it’s time to celebrate the people and organisations who are doing it the very best.

Nominate
How to write an winning answer to “Why are you nominating this person or business?”
Start with your story and then back it up with evidence. Be as specific as you can and avoid general phrases like “I’m nominating this person because she’s brilliant.” What is she brilliant at and how can you prove it?
Often the most compelling entries are the ones that come from the heart but if you’re looking for a place to start, use this simple template as your springboard:
“I’m nominating [X] for [X award] because they [solved this challenge or achieved this milestone]. This was achieved by [how they did it] and resulted in [what the results were].”
Now expand on this. If you can get a testimonial from some one who works with them or a parent, then add that in. They really help with entries.
Bonus: if you can also show how that person or business impacts the wider activities community, not just the kids who attend their sessions, even better!
If you have any questions regarding the awards process, please contact the team on marketing@loveadmin.com. Best of luck!
