About Us

The Epic Awards were set up in 2010 by Voluntary Arts, an organisation that works across the UK and Republic of Ireland to promote, support and champion the voluntary cultural sector.

Voluntary Arts works with local arts and crafts groups, voluntary sector organisations, arts councils and local and national government, to help increase opportunities for arts and crafts participation – and support those who have already discovered the benefits of taking part.

The Epic Awards celebrate the achievement of voluntary arts groups across the UK and Republic of Ireland, by recognising the skill, innovation and hard work that goes into their activities.
