PEOPLE in Hambleton have just three weeks left to put forward individuals or groups who they think deserve recognition for making a difference in their community.
The district council awards recognise projects or activities that have taken place or were completed in the year 2017 and must have had a positive impact on people’s lives.
Categories include:
Service to Young People award, Service to Older People award: and Service to Disability award.
There are also Parish Council of the Year and a Community Group of the Year awards - the latter for voluntary or community groups that have excelled in service to users. This award is for on-going day to day activity not for a one-off project.
The Peter Davison Community Champion of the Year is for an individual who is a shining light in a community, who has gone that extra mile and shows an exceptional commitment to their community.
Young Volunteer of the Year: for individuals under 25 who have made a difference to other people’s lives.
Community Hall of the Year: for a community facility that delivers outstanding service to its user groups.
Community Event of the Year: for a community event that has taken place on a not for profit basis in 2017.
Volunteer of the Year: for an individual that has made an outstanding contribution to their local community.
Any individual, group or organisation can make a nomination. Forms are available online at hambleton.gov.uk/communityawards2018 or from council offices and leisure centres.
The closing date for nominations is January 5.
