The Tigers community team have been nominated in the Aviva Club of the Year category alongside Saracens.
Scott Clarke, Tigers community manager, said: “We are delighted to receive the nomination.
“It is nice to be recognised for the hard work that we put in but it is also a reflection of the efforts of our partners, education authorities and sponsors that we work with.
“It has enabled us to make a positive difference to thousands of people.”
Run in conjunction with the All Party Rugby Union Group (a cross-party group made up of Parliamentarians in both Houses of Parliament who support rugby), the Premiership Rugby Parliamentary Rugby Community Awards are sponsored by Aviva, Land Rover and MBNA and supported by media partner SportBusiness Group.
Tony Cunningham MP, chairman of the All Party Group, said: “The scale of the community work the Premiership Rugby clubs do is admirable. The clubs and players are committed to the projects and work very closely with their partners to produce significant results.”
Wayne Morris, head of community at Premiership Rugby, said: “Our clubs have a community network as well as the experience which makes them first rate partners for public and private sector organisations looking to use their CSR or community investments to help solve local or national social issues.
“The breadth of the programmes on display was amazing, from Bath Rugby’s programme for primary and secondary school girls, to Saracens’ “Strictly Come Dancing” programme for over 50s, to Bristol Rugby’s programme with young offenders.
“The clubs going forward to the final are at the forefront of what they do. It will be a tough job deciding between them when it comes to the final in July.”
Bristol Rugby and Worcester Warriors have been nominated for the MBNA Innovation Award while Bath Rugby and Worcester Warriors are shortlisted in the Land Rover Impact Award.
The judging panel consisted of organisations and individuals expert and experienced in sports based community policy and programmes including Aviva, Sport England, Fit for Sport, Prince’s Trust, Youth Sport Trust, Serco, Dr Keith Gilbert of the University of East London, the Social Enterprise Coalition and Right to Play.
The Parliamentary Rugby Union Group Awards will be held at the House of Commons on July 6.
