Revealed! The finalists for this year’s prestigious Team Modeshift National Travel Awards 2025.
What started as a small celebration of excellence in travel behaviour change has now grown into something truly huge and this year has been our biggest yet.
Across our 10 award categories, we received an incredible 109 nominations from schools, businesses, local authorities, and community groups, all showcasing the amazing work being done to inspire more people to make everyday journeys healthier and more enjoyable.
One category stood out:
Education Engagement Project of the Year, with a record breaking 30 nominations. The standard was so high, and the projects so inspiring, that we’ve taken the exciting decision to split this into two distinct awards:
- Education Engagement Project of the Year – Individual School Impact Award
- Education Engagement Project of the Year – Multiple School Impact Award
This means we can give proper recognition to both schools making a huge difference on their own and those leading projects across multiple schools.
A massive congratulations to all our #TeamModeshift finalists, the passion, innovation, and commitment to transforming everyday journeys has never been stronger.
We can’t wait to celebrate these achievements and crown our winners at the glamorous Team Modeshift National Awards Ceremony, taking place at the National Modeshift Convention this November.
