We are thrilled to announce that Wave Community Bank was one of only three finalists for the prestigious Community Champion Award at The Sussex Chamber of Commerce Business Awards.
The Community Champion Award celebrates companies that facilitate, participate in, and enable community engagement. This year, from a vast pool of outstanding nominees shortlisted, three finalists were chosen: Holding Space, Adelphi Masterfil Limited, and Wave Community Bank. While Adelphi Masterfil Limited took home the award, being named one of only three finalists on that day for this award is a testament to Wave Community Bank’s core mission and values.
Ann Hickey, Chief Executive of Wave Community Bank, attended the event and shared her thoughts on this significant achievement:
“The competition was tough – there are so many fantastic Community Champions in Sussex. I am delighted that, as a finalist, the Sussex Chamber of Commerce recognised the hard work and commitment that we at Wave Community Bank do providing safe savings and affordable credit to local people.”

Being a finalist underscores our dedication to providing safe savings and affordable credit options to the people of Sussex, helping to build a financially inclusive community. It is an honour to be acknowledged alongside other forward-thinking companies that are setting the standard for community engagement and inspiring meaningful change.
Celebrating Business Excellence in Sussex
The Sussex Chamber of Commerce Business Awards, hosted at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole, stand as one of the most esteemed events in the region. These awards celebrate the remarkable contributions of businesses that drive the economic and societal landscape of Sussex. The Community Champion Award, in particular, represents the highest accolade for community-focused businesses, acknowledging those that exemplify exceptional community engagement and a steadfast commitment to giving back.
The event was a heartwarming celebration of businesses dedicated to their communities. From engaging events and charitable foundations to volunteer programs and generous donations, it was inspiring to see so many companies focusing their efforts on making a positive impact. These initiatives are crucial in driving forward the charge towards meaningful change in our communities.
